Mental Health of Government Assisted Refugees: Launch of Community-Based Research Initiative

Access Alliance Multicultural Community Health Centre (AAMCHC) in collaboration with Dr Carles Muntaner, Psychiatry and Addiction Nursing Research Chair at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, is initiating a new research initiative focused on exploring mental health issues for Government Assisted Refugees (GARs). In line with Access Alliance’s commitment to community-based participatory research principles, they will be recruiting GARs themselves to sit on our advisory committee and work as research collaborators in this project.
