This research examines acculturation stress affecting Sudanese women immigrants in Columbus-Ohio and determines the key factors affecting especially Sudanese immigrant women mental health. The research methodology is a qualitative research design involving in-depth interviews of selected Sudanese immigrants living in Columbus, OH. The focus is on psychological effects on women, coping mechanisms, family and responses to acculturation, and the support given to Sudanese women immigrants. The results revealed that a majority of Sudanese immigrant women faced difficulties coping with the new life in the US when they first arrived and perhaps some of them are suffering from mental health problems. This result urge for help and support to newly arriving immigrants and calls for counseling and mental health service providers to reach out to those immigrants who are in need of help and support.
