Immigrant and refugee populations experience life stressors due to difficult
migration journeys and challenges in leaving one country and adapting to another. These life
stressors result in adverse mental health outcomes when coupled with a lack of adequate supportenhancing resources. One area of support is access to and use of mental health services to prevent
and address mental health concerns. Immigrant service providers in Canada support the
integration and overall well-being of newcomers. This study focuses on immigrant service
providers’ perceptions of access to and use of mental health services for immigrants and refugees
in Alberta. A qualitative descriptive design was used to collect and analyse the perspectives of 53
immigrant service providers recruited from nine immigrant serving agencies in Alberta between
November 2016 and January 2017.
