Vulnerability can be reversed by obtaining resources to increase resilience.Learning the basic language of the country of residence will give immigrants the ability to communicate and navigate through systems and thus remove barriers that promote disenfranchisement and disadvantaged status.Although money,food,and clothing meet needs for the short term,they do not help the immigrant develop the power and control to improve health risks over the long term or contribute to lasting resilience.
