Toronto’s Diversity and Trauma-Informed Mental Health Care: Supporting Refugees

Finding mental health support as a newcomer or refugee in Toronto can feel overwhelming. If you or someone you love has resettled after hardship, know that caring help is available. At our North York clinic, we honour your story and are committed to offering culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care every step of the way.

Understanding Trauma Among Refugees and Newcomers

Resettlement often comes after significant challenges—war, loss, persecution, or upheaval. Refugees may develop symptoms of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or depression as they adjust to life in Canada. Trauma-informed mental health care means our counsellors and psychiatrists consider your background, use sensitive approaches, and help you feel safe in sharing your experience. Learn more about trauma from CAMH.

Culturally Sensitive Approaches in North York

Toronto is one of the world’s most multicultural cities, and North York is home to people from every continent. Our mental health practitioners respect your values, beliefs, and language needs. We offer sessions in multiple languages and connect you with ethnically diverse therapists who understand the impact of culture on mental health.

Accessing Trauma-Informed Support

Seeking support should never be a barrier. Our clinic partners with local organizations and offers sliding scale payment. If you feel nervous about starting therapy, we guide you with empathy and patience. Book a trauma assessment or learn more about our trauma-informed care services. You are not alone—healing happens together.

Resources for Refugees and Newcomers

We encourage you to seek community and support. Connect with immigrant and refugee services in Toronto, such as clinic partnerships or local settlement agencies. The Government of Canada provides helpful resources on mental health for newcomers as well.
