About this service
During the first year in Canada, our Life Skills workers provide orientation and support for government-assisted refugee families. Life Skills Workers and Youth Workers are trained staff from over 20 different ethnic communities. Life Skills Support helps gradually build confidence and independence, while lessening the stress of settlement through a connection with someone from the same country or area of the world who speaks the same language. Staff provide:
help to families to navigate new systems and daily life
orientation and practical support in areas of daily life, including personal and child safety, apartment and city living, life in Canada, shopping, getting to know the neighbourhood, public transportation, health and hospital orientation and accessing community resources
enhanced personalized orientation for those with high settlement and health needs
