Born in a Ugandan refugee camp and raised between worlds, Stella Nunas shares her journey from displacement to purpose as a mental-health nurse and advocate in Australia. Guided and mentored by Professor Idi (Ras) Banamungu, this book integrates evidence-based research with lived experience and spiritual wisdom. It highlights how trauma, migration, and cultural perceptions shape access to mental-health services, while also celebrating resilience and the healing power of faith, laughter, and community. Professor Banamungu's mentorship helped Stella develop a holistic framework that unites African traditional healing, Western psychology, and the arts-particularly rhythm, music, and laughter-as pathways to emotional and social recovery. The book's philosophy is simple yet profound: Healing is not merely the absence of illness, but the restoration of dignity, identity, and connection. Through storytelling and scholarship, From Refuge to Resilience becomes both testimony and tool-a model for culturally responsive care and a call to treat compassion as the highest form of intelligence in healthcare and humanity alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stella Nunas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798369462041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Au\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Stella Nunas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852798865663,"sku":"9798369462041","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-refuge-to-resilience-stella-nunas-9798369462041","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
