what we offer.
Service Navigation and Support
Many newcomers, particularly refugees, arrive from countries with very different healthcare systems, social services and disability supports.
Our cultural resource facilitators break down barriers, offering support in their first language to bridge the gap between families and service providers. We guide clients to make informed decisions about their care while ensuring that service providers respect their cultural practices and beliefs.
Language Program for Newcomers
