Abstract
Factors that impact the mental health, help-seeking behaviors, and coping strategies of Filipino migrant domestic workers (N=60) in Hong Kong were examined through feminist-informed process drama using triangulated methods. Findings challenge methodological nationalism and highlight the need for systemic solutions that transcends borders given the transnational nature of their experiences.
