Are you in contact with newcomers to Canada? Whether as a volunteer, at your place of worship, or during your daily routine, you likely are in contact, and some of the newcomers (whether you know it or not) will be LGBTQ.
The AMSSA (Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC) website has a series of web videos shot in 2015 focuses on highlighting the issues and needs of LGBTQ immigrants and refugees and provides settlement workers with greater understanding of how to strengthen the support.
The titles of the five videos are:
- Exploring the Issues Affecting LGBTQ Immigrants and Refugees
- Exploring Gender and Sexual Identity Affecting LGBTQ Immigrants and Refugees
- The Journey of LGBTQ Immigrants and Refugees in Canada
- The Intersection of Immigration and Gender & Sexual Identity
- Exploring Spirituality and the Role of the Home Culture for LGBTQ Immigrants and Refugees
