Migration is one of life’s most significant transitions — and
it carries real emotional weight. Isolation, grief for home,
financial stress, and cultural adjustment affect the mental
health of many newcomers and seniors in our community. Yet
stigma and language barriers often prevent people from seeking
help.
EHDS Canada creates safe, welcoming peer support circles where
participants can share experiences, support one another, and
access information about mental health resources — without
judgment, and in a language they understand. Weekly sessions
are facilitated by trained community members who share similar
backgrounds with participants.
