The Canadian Mental Health Association’s BC Division and Centre for Addictions Research of BC, University of Victoria invite you to help us explore possibilities around supports (e.g., resources, training needs) for professionals like you who have close connections with those whose primary language is not English.

Earlier this year, we spoke with a diverse group of individuals from the multicultural and settlement sectors—from program managers and settlement workers to mental health clinicians and primary care practitioners—about the needs of people who face cultural and linguistic barriers when seeking mental health and substance use resources and materials.

Please join us for a follow-up information-sharing and consultation webinar so we can share what we learned in our consultation and to get more of your feedback around your preferred formats and future topics. Help us to help you in your role as key people supporting mental well-being for immigrant and refugee newcomers to BC.

We are leading this work on behalf of a group of provincial mental health and addictions non-profit agencies called the BC Partners for Mental Health and Addictions Information
