Immigrant survivors of domestic violence experience multiple barriers to navigating support systems. These barriers include unfamiliarity with resources, language, isolation, and lack of suitable resources. Community services are often siloed and unaware of existing gaps in providing support for this demographic. In this webinar, we will present community-based research, share promising practices for empowering immigrant survivors, and invite a discussion on how to help lower barriers and increase accessibility to services through leveraging collaboration between settlement, mental health, and victim services.

- Gender-based violence in immigrant communities
- The role of language instruction for newcomers in Canada in addressing violence
- Strategies for responding to gender-based violence through community collaboration
