Webinar: Navigating the US-Mexico Border

On May 9, JRS/USA held a webinar to discuss our report on Navigating the US-Mexico Border: Digital Practices of Migrants and Their Psychosocial Needs.
In collaboration with the Boston College School of Social Work, the 2024 report, “Navigating the US-Mexico Border: Digital Practices of Migrants and Their Psychosocial Needs,” highlights many of these stories at the border and the challenges migrants face as they seek entry to the US to begin the asylum process. This report is authored by Dr. Alejandro Olayo-Méndez, S.J., this report features the initial findings of an ongoing research project investigating migrant’s digital practices, digital tools as forms of risk and protection, the issues surrounding CBP One™, and migrants’ perceived needs along the US-Mexico border and migration routes in Mexico.
