Dear Colleagues,
As you听 know, Quebec is expecting the arrival of thousands of Syrian refugees over the next several weeks.
We are anticipating that some of these refugees may eventually need specialized mental health services.
CCS and allied programs are willing to help, but we need to organize a list of Arabic-speaking psychiatrists who could be approached in time of need.
Dr. Robert Whitley and his team, Recovery Advocacy Documentary Action Research (RADAR) group,听released a video titled Newfoundland Notions: In Search of the Good Life. 听
