A new study at the University of Missouri has found that Black South Africans who migrated far away from home to find work reported a better emotional well-being and were at lower risk for depression after the move on average. According to the study, the further away from Tyler Myroniuk, Assistant professor in the MU School of Health Professions and lead author on the study home the migrants moved, the higher the levels of emotional well-being they self-reported after the move compared to before the move. Lerato Mbele gets into the new findings.
