The challenges of starting over in a new country are not always visible. Neither is their impact on mental health š§
For skilled newcomers, rebuilding a career in Canada can bring uncertainty, stress, isolation and self-doubt. Navigating an unfamiliar job market, building professional connections and facing repeated setbacks can take an emotional toll, even on experienced professionals.
Ahead of World Mental Health Day on October 10, we're drawing attention to an often-overlooked aspect of the newcomer experience: the impact of career transitions on mental health and wellbeing.
While mentoring is not a substitute for mental health support, having someone who listens, shares their experience and offers guidance can help reduce feelings of professional isolation and build confidence.
Through TRIEC Mentoring Partnership, experienced professionals help skilled newcomers navigate their career journeys, strengthen their networks and move forward with greater confidence.
This World Mental Health Day, let's recognize the importance of mental wellbeing, meaningful connections and supporting one another through change š
Your experience could make a difference in someone's career journey š¤
