Starting a new life in Canada can feel both exciting and overwhelming. If you’re a newcomer already here, you may be worrying about housing, work, or learning a new language, and all of these changes can affect your mental health.

It’s OK to feel stressed and unsure sometimes. In Canada, 1 in 2 people will experience mental health challenges at some point, and it’s OK to talk about it.

Here are some ways to support your mental health as you settle into Canada:
☑️ Share how you’re feeling with someone you trust.
☑️ Spend time outside, even if it’s a short walk.
☑️ Ask for help when you need it—there’s no shame in it.

Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone.
