This study explores the resettlement challenges of Somali single mothers in Ottawa, and the health implications of these challenges. The study also investigates the coping strategies women adopted to mitigate the effects of poverty and decreased social support. The research methodology consisted of 11 individual interviews with single mothers who have lived in Canada for ten years or longer. Mental health related issues— sadness, anxiety and depression— and high cholesterol, hypertension and iron deficiency were some of the health complications reported by the participants. The participants’ explanatory models attributed their ill-health to the resettlement challenges they have faced in Canada. The study found that institutional racism and social exclusion hampered the successful integration of the mothers and their children. Language acquisition and full-time employment did not alleviate the feeling of social exclusion: children, particularly boys, bore the brunt of this social exclusion resulting in problems in schools and contact with the criminal justice system.
