⚠️Newcomer Mental Health: What Happens When Men Don’t Talk?

He says “I’m fine.”

But what does that really mean? 💡

During Mental Health Awareness Month, and under this year’s theme “Come Together, Canada,” we’re creating space for an important and often difficult conversation — the mental health of newcomer men.

Many carry the quiet weight of expectations: to provide, to adapt, to stay strong. But what happens when those pressures go unspoken?

Join us for a live conversation featuring:
🟢Afraa Akasha (Calgary) – Registered Psychologist, Centre for Refugee Resilience, Calgary Catholic Immigration Society
🟢Shibu Angadiyath (Medicine Hat) – Mental Health Therapist, Recovery Alberta.

Together, we’ll explore:
🗣️Silence, stigma, and identity
🗣️The realities of urban vs. rural support
🗣️What “coping” can look like beneath the surface
🗣️And how we can begin to shift the conversation
