What is Welcome Haven?

The Welcome Haven Project is a community-based, participatory research project that brings regular psychosocial workshops to refugee claimant families in their communities in Montréal. We offer free workshops for refugee claimant kids and parents and study the process of implementing the workshops and aim to include refugee claimants as partners in the research and workshop. Our goal is to support refugee claimant families’ wellbeing and mental health by:

• Providing Practical Resources
  • We strive to be an access point for multiple services and resources for refugees and asylum seekers who are new to the area.
• Understanding Your Experience
  • We want to learn about your time here.
• Empowering Participants through Peer-to-Peer Support and workshop co-facilitation
