Service Providers working with newcomers will gain skills to identify signs and symptoms of mental illness, learn how be inclusive in assessment so that they can link individuals to appropriate resources and supports.

The CMHA Toronto Cross Cultural Initiatives department includes mental health promotion projects for newcomer and immigrant communities working within partnerships and internal/external education related to mental health and diversity.
