DESCRIPTION

While the immigrant experience is varied,
many suffer trauma, violence, racism, and
multiple challenges adjusting to life in a
new country. These experiences can
significantly impact mental wellness,
requiring understanding and support from
the health and mental health
community. This webinar provides
a framework for working
with immigrant communities, focusing on
the mental health needs of children and youth in
immigrant households.
