Refugee Mental Health: Supporting Transitions

By Sheila Lacroix, Librarian, CAMH Library

Our communities are abuzz as we prepare to welcome thousands of refugees, many traumatized and all in need of physical and emotional supports. Here are some resources to help, whether you are a frontline worker or part of a neighbourhood or faith community sponsorship team.

Refugee Mental Health Project (CAMH)
https://www.porticonetwork.ca/web/rmhp/. Geared to Service Providers, offering:

• Opportunities to learn and develop skills in dealing with the mental health needs of refugees and in collaborating with other service providers.
• Online courses and toolkits.
• Webinars. Past webinars are archived for viewing. See the schedule for upcoming Webinars.
