The migration journey of children, youth and their families who are newcomers to Canada can be a complex and stressful experience. A growing body of research evidence has documented the mental health challenges facing this group, the need to improve access to care, and to reimagine how mental health services are organized to address their needs. This webinar will provide participants with a summary of the key insights that emerged from a citizen panel and stakeholder dialogue convened on this topic, where best evidence was considered alongside views and experiences to help identify next steps to address this challenge.
