Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body: Multi-lingual Virtual Mental Wellness Workshops 2021-2022

After a review by the WE LIP council members of the Mental Health Roundtable report produced in fiscal year one, WE LIP partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association – Windsor (CMHA) and the Migrant Worker Community Program (MWCP) to produce the mental wellness sessions, Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body. The initial session was offered virtually in four (4) languages through Facebook Live. These languages were Spanish, French, Arabic and English.

After the success of the initial presentations, the partnership expanded to include Pozitive Pathways and the Consulate of Mexico in Leamington, and produced five (5) additional sessions in Spanish and English. Topics include: Sexual Health, LGBTQ2S+ Basics, Coping Strategies, Bereavement, and Addiction and Harm Reduction.

We Speak was used for the Spanish presentation.

Report Background

Research evidence shows that immigrant, refugee, ethnocultural and racialized populations are more exposed to the social determinants that contribute to mental health problems, access mental health services less often and face numerous barriers when accessing services. Barriers include stigma, language and cultural barriers, and long wait lists for mental health services. Recommended solutions include strengthened partnerships between settlement and mental health service providers, and increased investment in culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health services.

IRCC’s 2019 Call for Proposals included a focus on customized services that address newcomer needs for mental health and well-being support, including activities that reduce barriers and increase newcomer awareness of and access to mainstream physical and mental health services. As we move forward with these investments, we hope to learn from and share local best practices with other communities, while engaging community partners in creative problem solving to address outstanding challenges.

On February 13, 2020, the Windsor Essex Local Immigration Partnership hosted a Mental Health Roundtable. This was an opportunity for 44 local partners from various sectors including healthcare, community supports, education, and newcomer service providers to discuss mental health issues as they relate to newcomers and immigrants.
