The Settlement and Integration Program at Burnaby Neighbourhood House, in conjunction with other agencies, is supporting the local needs of Afghan individuals and families impacted and displaced during the current crisis in Afghanistan.

Initial plans include:

  • Support with access to reliable information on Canadian responses to the crises
  • Help with completing sponsorship applications
  • Information and orientation on community resources in BC and cultural relevant networks
  • Mental health services and group therapy sessions – Trauma informed counselling in first language in collaboration to specialized agencies
  • Access to a pool of trained interpreters/translators in Farsi/Dari and Pashtu languages to support communication for those applying for refugee protection and extra settlement support
  • Advocacy and awareness raising efforts for displaced Afghans
  • Referrals to specialized programs in the Lower Mainland

 

The project is just getting started, and all inquires will be responded to within two business days. Please contact BNH via the following:
