KW Multicultural Centre
CURA Demonstration Project:
Women's and Men's Support Groups
led by K-W Multicultural Centre
KW Multicultural Centre is leading a community based linguistic specific peer support project in Kitchener-Waterloo. They will implement eight peer-led support groups (four for women, and four for men) that promote the mental health and positive settlement of culturally diverse women and men in Waterloo Region. The support groups will consist of ongoing opportunities to raise awareness of mental health, provide mutual aid in resolving settlement stressors (e.g. parenting, social norms, employment, family violence) and will promote the capacity of these communities to respond to mental health issues. The participation of mothers will be supported by the provision of childcare.
