HELLO, WELCOME!
THINKING OF MOVING
TO THE US?
INTRODUCTION
There are many good things about living in the U.S. There may be fully valid motives for immigrating to the U.S.
You´ll find cheaper prices for consumer items, like electronics and cars.
You may dream of living in a cute middle-class home in a neighborhood with no walls.
Many of you may move to the US, achieve your goals, and be happy!
That said, many Brazilians who immigrate to the U.S. may face adversities.
You may face issues of ethnic identity – that is, you may be considered Hispanic or Latino when you don´t identify with these categorizations.
You may feel prejudice and discrimination.
And you may suffer mentally, with anxiety or by getting depressed.

LANDAU-REMY
The author, Andre Remy, is a Brazilian living in São Paulo with experience living in the United States, Canada, and France. He conducted research about Brazilians immigrants in the U.S. while doing graduate work at the Harvard Extension School.
He wants to share his findings to help you make an informed decision about moving to the United States.
This website aims to inform Brazilians considering moving to the US about the potential difficulties they may face, including mental health issues, to help them make a well-informed decision.
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
Brazilians living in the United States may feel the burden and the
consequences (in terms of mental health) of being immigrants, and
may incorporate negative stereotypes about themselves.
Minority groups such as Latino immigrants are highly vulnerable to
experiencing social discrimination, and they have difficulty finding and
receiving quality mental health services.
