This webinar is presented by the National Newcomer Navigation Network (N4)

A newcomer to Canada, whether an immigrant or a refugee, experiences many stressors when relocating to a new home. The experience is taxing on one’s mental health, and being resilient is just one step in the equation. Resources and supports must also be available to assist newcomers in managing the trauma that can occur in the immigration process. Shifts in family dynamics, loss of connection and loneliness, and the difference between expectations and reality can all take a toll on a newcomer’s well-being. As professionals working with newcomers, it is of utmost importance that intersectoral collaborations are used to promote our collective social responsibility so that newcomers can navigate the complexities of health and social care resources, address resource gaps, and promote mental health. Join us on October 9, 2024, from 3 to 4 pm EST as we host Nancy Clark, Associate Professor of Nursing at the University of Victoria, and Geoffrey Maina, Associate Professor of Nursing at the University of Saskatchewan, as we hear about case studies from two community-based research projects, the lessons learned about intersectoral collaborations, and project implications for bridging knowledge to action to promote newcomer mental health.

# Learning Objectives:

• Gain a greater understanding of the healthy immigrant effect and its impact based on gender
• Evaluate the dynamic shifts that can occur in newcomers and their families and its impact to mental health and well-being
• Understand what can be done from one’s professional role to address the resources and supports necessary to help newcomers

# Speakers:

• Nancy Clark, Associate Professor, Nursing, University of Victoria
• Geoffrey Maina, Associate Professor, University of Saskatchewan
