This qualitative study explores perspectives of community health workers (CHWs) on family functioning among Sri Lankan Tamil refugees in India. Focus groups with 18 CHWs explored the impact of transmigration stress on family dynamics and the mitigating role of CHWs. Thematic analysis revealed three themes: parenting/family practices, services for addressing family conflicts and challenges, and solutions to enhance family well-being. Findings highlight the importance of culturally responsive interventions, increased access to counselling services and building trust. This study contributes to limited research on psychosocial experiences of refugees during transmigration and emphasises targeted support to promote family functioning and overall well-being.
