Webinar: Integrated Mental Health Care for Refugees – What Works? For Whom? Why?

CAMH Office of Health Equity is hosting a webinar examining why integrated mental health care works for some refugees but not for others.

Frontline providers know this reality well. Refugees don’t arrive with “mental health needs” neatly separated from housing, income, language, family reunification, or immigration stress. Yet our systems are still organized as if those needs exist in isolation. The result? Clients fall through gaps, staff burn out trying to hold systems together, and meaningful integration remains the exception rather than the norm.

This engaging and practice-focused webinar shares findings from a British Columbia based realist study that asked: what actually makes integrated mental health care for refugees work, and what causes it to fail?

The session will resonate deeply with frontline staff who regularly “stretch” their roles to support clients, as well as leaders grappling with system pressures and sustainability.
