Description

Evidence shows that newcomer men face unique pressures and challenges throughout the migration process. We also know that newcomer men access mental health services less often. Yet, there is limited research about engaging and providing support for this population. In this webinar, Burke discusses practical tips for engagement, and highlights examples of social and recreational programming that is tailored to meet the needs of this population.
