This study examined the role of family support in alleviating acculturative stress among African immigrants in the United States. African immigrants face unique challenges, including cultural adjustment, discrimination, and limited access to culturally sensitive resources, which contribute to acculturative stress. This study conceptualized family support as a critical emotional and informational resource that is provided by family members to mitigate stress, while emphasizing the collectivist nature of African cultures and the pivotal role of transnational family networks. This study reviewed published articles by using predetermined keywords to search ResearchGate and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed articles related to family support, acculturative stress, and African immigrants. Some of the findings from this study revealed that strong family cohesion acts as a protective factor against acculturative stress, although family dynamics can sometimes exacerbate stress. This review addresses a critical gap in the literature by centering the experiences of African immigrants and calls for culturally sensitive interventions and future research to examine how family dynamics and transnational networks evolve over time. This review concludes that fostering strong familial ties can significantly improve the acculturation experience for African immigrants in the United States.
