Join OCIC’s Youth Policy-Makers to talk about mental wellness in newcomer youth communities The OCIC Youth Policy-Makers Hub presents #OurSpaceToo, a workshop for newcomer (immigrant and refugee) youth and a safe space to foster informative and personal dialogue about mental wellness in their communities.

This will be an opportunity for education and awareness, collective relationship building, and a space to practice wellness. We will be discussing issues around how newcomer youth are getting or could get involved in the international development sector, anti-racism, stigma around mental health, increasing awareness about available resources and sharing self-care strategies.
