Promising Practice: Tri-Cities Wrap Around Model of Care for Mental Health in Immigrant Families

Organization: S.U.C.C.E.S.S.

About the Program: The Tri-Cities Wrap Around Model of Care for Mental Health in Immigrant Families project was a collaboration between S.U.C.C.E.S.S. and the Tri-Cities Local Immigration Partnership (TCLIP). The project aimed to improve access to mental health supports for immigrant families with young children. It also sought to enhance the capacity of early years service providers to promote mental health in their programming in culturally appropriate ways. At S.U.C.C.E.S.S., families could access one-on-one sessions in a culturally safe environment with staff who spoke their first language, and could receive referrals. Families could also participate in early years programming, which included small group sessions and workshops to strengthen their emotional well-being and build connections. To support service providers, the project organized eight training sessions on mental health promotion and literacy in early years settings, and two knowledge exchange forums to share insights and strengthen referrals. Additionally, several resources, such as Emotion Magnets, Art Start conversation cards, and the Tri-Cities Family Challenge Booklet, were developed to support the mental health of immigrant families.

Project Title: Sharing Settlement and Integration Practices that Work

Pathways to Prosperity has been contracted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to share innovative promising practices in immigrant settlement and integration with an empirical basis for their effectiveness.

Promising practices are innovative practices that have an objective basis for claiming effectiveness in achieving their stated aims and have the potential for replication. Thus, promising practices are defined in terms of their innovation and effectiveness, which can be empirically measured as successful outcomes of the practices. Our approach focuses not only on identifying truly promising practices, but on analyzing and sharing key features that can be replicated. Promising practices may have faced challenges in their initial implementation, and these challenges are also considered and analyzed so that others can learn from these experiences.
