OCASI’s Mental Health Promotion Guide for Agencies Serving Immigrants and Refugees in Ontario
A part of OCASI’s 2016-2017 Mental Health Project, this guide aims to improve the capacity of immigrant and refugee serving agencies to promote the mental health of newcomers in general, but particularly that of their refugee clients.
While several agencies have developed their own internal tools and policies to promote mental health while responding to related challenges among their clients, many have not. This document provides crucial guidelines for such agencies to adapt in ways that addresses their own needs, clients, and services while taking into account the resources to which they have access.
