Good mental and physical health is a key outcome of successful settlement and integration. For many vulnerable immigrants, the early years after resettlement are a difficult period. Resettlement stresses such as underemployment, adapting to a new culture, learning a new language and family separation/social isolation can lead to significant mental health challenges. This e-symposium provided an opportunity to provide training and information for Settlement agencies and staff working with and supporting the mental health of vulnerable clients. The e-symposium featured three presentations followed by a question and answers session. AMSSA gratefully acknowledges Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for providing support for this event. AMSSA would also like to thank all presenters for sharing their time and knowledge with us.
