To comment on the first part, it's amazing that Winnipeg has diverse backgrounds and is doing great in terms of having more variety and culturally sensitive supports. In order to add to that, we need to have community-based organizations, as mentioned by Sarah, that provide early intervention and safe spaces for newcomer women and immigrants. They need to understand the trauma that these newcomers bring, speak their language, and be from their culture.
When you don't have the words, art is a great way to express yourself, and a great way to heal. We did find art therapy to be super effective when I used to work back home with war survivors, and currently. I have led many art therapy workshops with newcomer immigrants. Those who lead the art sessions are also from the same culture. Especially with a language barrier, art could be a really good alternative to give them the space to express their trauma and feelings.
