Why attend these workshops?
Discrimination exists
• It is a myth that Canada is a land of equal
opportunity without discrimination.
• Unfortunately, racialised people, newcom-
ers and people with mental health issues experience racism and discrimination in Canada.
• Racism is linked to xenophobia and other
systems of discrimination.
• Discrimination has negative effects on men-
tal wellness of the individuals and commu-nities.
Strengthening, fostering and cultivating healthier communities in Ontario
• Enhancing the wellbeing of newcomers and
communities of mental health survivors is important!
• The Opening Doors Project is committed to
partnering with agencies and communities to develop safe spaces in Ontario communities .
• Safe spaces are places where newcomers
and people with mental health issues can be comfortable.
All workshops will be held at Nipissing Family Peer Support Services, People for Equal Partnership in Mental Health
