Newcomer Mental Health Program

Moving to a new home and country is a huge change. While it’s an exciting and positive step in a new direction, there can be lots of challenges and uncertainty along the way. All of this can be emotional and unsettling, and it can take its toll on your mental health.

Our Newcomer Mental Health Program is here for you, with friendly helpers who will listen and direct you to services and resources. You might be struggling with something specific or just want to talk through your decisions and options—either way, you can turn to us for help.
