S.U.C.C.E.S.S. and the University of British Columbia have partnered on a research project: Understanding the Barriers to Employment for Female Refugees with Physical Disabilities, with the support from Vancouver Foundation.  The research was directed by Dr. Suzanne Huot from the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy at UBC.  We would like to invite service providers from different sectors to come, learn and participate in the dialogue on this topic.

Goals of the Town Hall meeting:

1. Present the preliminary research findings
2. Knowledge Exchange with service providers from different sectors
3. Discuss ideas related to strategies for better supporting the labour market participation of female refugees with disabilities in Metro Vancouver

We would like to invite you and your staff to join us to learn and provide feedback and suggestions on June 6, 2019 (Thursday) from 9:15 – 11:30 am at SUCCESS Head Office (28 West Pender Street, Vancouver).  Please feel free to spread the words.

Refreshment, coffee and tea will be provided
