About this service
The Syrian and Newcomer Youth Mentorship Initiative (SNYMI) is an initiative with The Opening Doors Project that helps Syrian and Newcomer youth adjust to life in Canada through group sessions and one-on-one meetings. Our Syrian and Newcomer Youth Mentors provide a safe place where youth can explore issues of identity and mental health challenges, discuss their educational and professional goals, and receive support as they navigate the immigration and settlement processes.
Syrian and Newcomer youth often find themselves straddling two cultures, and have to make the choice between holding to their background and cultural identity or assimilating with the dominant Canadian culture. At the same time, they are dealing with psychological trauma as the result of living in a war-torn country, having witnessed violence, and having lost loved ones. It is no surprise that many of them are experiencing mental health challenges.
Who can use it?
Syrian and Newcomer youth adjust to life in Canada.
