Café Scientifique Title: Lending a Hand for Our Future: What Can We Do About the Mental Health of Children and Youth New to Canada and Who Should Be Doing It?
FY 2013-14
Summary
Far too little is known about the mental health of immigrant and refugee children, about how they integrate in their schools and neighborhoods, about the particular mental health challenges they face, about the effects of these challenges over and above the developmental challenges faced by all children, and about their apparent resilience. Bringing together members of the general public, policy makers and research experts, the proposed Café Scientifique will promote an exchange about immigrant and refugee children and youth mental health and well-being, about the social and cultural determinants of mental health risk and resilience, about the role and responsibilities of different sectors of society in minimizing risk and promoting resilience, and about remaining knowledge gaps.
