1MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN IMMIGRANT FAMILIES
Executive Summary
The emerging population of refugee and migrant families in Canada has posed to be a serious
problem pertaining to the mental health status of the concerned youth and children. The presence
of such shortcomings has considerable implications on the academic performance of immigrant
children and youth, with respect to the early childhood education and care scenario. However,
the implementation of adequate response strategies by the corresponding early childhood leaders
and advocates, along with the additional presence of non-profit organizations, will lead to
considerable provision of aid and assessment to the concerned immigrant youth and children of
Canada.
