Counselling Services

Canadian immigrants represent about 16% of Canada's population and form an important part of Canada's social, cultural, and economic institutions. Regardless of gender, age, culture, education, and income, an individual’s mental health can fluctuate over time. That being said, the decline in immigrants’ health is a result of environmental, economic, genetic, and socio-cultural factors. Their health is influenced by factors such as new place of residence, employment, education, and poverty, as well as the accessibility and responsiveness of health practitioners (Mental Health of Immigrants, 2017).
