Eritrean Community in Calgary Unites to Bring Psychologist for Mental Health Support
December 1, 2025 - 03:02
A dedicated group of Eritrean community members in Calgary is taking significant steps to address mental health challenges faced by newcomers. They are working together to sponsor a clinical psychologist from East Africa, aiming to bridge the gap in mental health services that many in their community struggle to access.
The initiative comes in response to the unique psychological needs of refugees, who often face cultural and language barriers in the mainstream healthcare system. By bringing a psychologist familiar with their cultural background, the community hopes to create a more welcoming environment for mental health support.
This grassroots effort not only highlights the resilience of the Eritrean community but also underscores the broader issues of accessibility in mental health care for immigrants. The group is actively fundraising and mobilizing support, demonstrating their commitment to improving the well-being of their community members. Through this initiative, they aspire to foster a healthier, more supportive environment for all newcomers in Calgary.
