Newcomers to a new country face challenges that can lead to high stress, isolation, role shifts, financial difficulties, marital problems, and parent-child conflict. They may also carry trauma from their past, leading to PTSD, depression, and anxiety, which can impede their integration. EMCN provides community-focused therapy and counselling to address these challenges.

EMCN therapeutic services team members are:

• Highly-trained psychologists, licensed therapists and social workers

• Trauma-informed therapy practitioners who consider cultural perspectives, immigration processes, and gender expectations and expressions
