Join us for the Understanding Migration Workshop delivered by the Canadian Mental Health Association Toronto through their Opening Doors Project.

This workshop introduces participants to the complexities of migration and explores some of the social factors that shape the settlement process for newcomer and immigrant communities such as language, income disparity, housing, loss of status, and discrimination among others. It will encourage participants to move away from a single narrative of migration and see the great diversity that characterizes the experiences of newcomers and immigrants in Canada.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Define: Migration, immigration, emigration and other migration-related terminology
• Understand: Reasons people migrate illustrated through push and pull factors
• Unpack: The ethnic diversity in Canada
• Identify: Changing migration patterns, factors impacting the settlement process and the connection between migration and mental health
• Challenge: Migration narratives through a true and false activity
