\begin{abstract}
Resettlement as a poverty alleviation strategy is common in Sri Lanka.
Many local and international entities along with the government,
relocate poor people with better housing facilities and uplift their
living standards. Especially, providing a new housing unit with basic
facilities is making them a favorable atmosphere to nurturing a new
livelihood pattern, new social network system, access to market, access
for school and health facilities, etc. However, there are many negative
consequences of resettlement, particularly relating to the mental health
and psychological well-being of resettlers. It is also revealed that
women are more vulnerable to resettlement and experience many mental
health issues during and after resettlement. In addition, there are
several psychological impacts among the resettlers that have been
identified apparently. However, no detailed study to date has directly
focused on the main contributions to the mental health of women
resettlers in Sri Lanka. This study aimed to address said gap from a
sociological perspective with reference to popular resettlement models,
concepts, and other related frameworks. Particularly, this study is
focused in Kaluthara district of Sri Lanka. The study revealed that
resettled woman usually go through a transition period where she
experience emotional disturbances such as fear, anxiety and stress which
gradually reduces when she adjusts to the new environment, if
resettlement initiative assures,financial strength with better
livelihood opportunities and social recognition. Also, study findings
conclude how resettlers could experience mental and emotional
instability due to lack of essential facilities like proper sanitation,
efficient public services, better safety and security, corporative and
pleasant neighborhood etc.%
