Celebrating Culture, Celebrating Life: An empowerment approach to building resiliency amongst immigrant and refugee youth in Edmonton, Alberta
This project is a youth-oriented brokering intervention that targets cultural minority youth (aged 13-19) in Eritrean/Ethiopian, Oromo and Syrian communities in Edmonton, Alberta. Participants are engaged as cultural brokers, to address risk and build protective factors and reduce health inequities by overcoming and reducing barriers at the individual, family, community, systemic and structural levels. The project aims to establish a profile of the unique risk and protective factors for newcomer youth; and establish a conceptual framework to demonstrate the relationship between the risk and protective factors and the underlying causes, including social determinants and structural violence.
Lead organization: Multicultural Health Brokers Cooperative
Location: Alberta
