Community Conversation Circle-Causes and Corrections for Family Disruption in Immigrant Communities
2024-05-04 09:00 - 11:00 (America/Denver)
TheMarriageAdvocates Canada would like to invite you to join a community conversation that will happen on Zoom every first Saturday of the month. We want to dig into the CAUSES of and CORRECTIONS for FAMILY DISRUPTION in immigrant communities. We want to hear your stories and learn from you about what you think we can do as a community to support immigrant families. We believe that healthy families are the bedrock of a thriving community.nnTheMarriageAdvocates Canada encourages people to compassionately reclaim their stories and see how their experiences shape their current realities. Data from UCalgary suggests that 1 in 3 new immigrants landing in Canada are separating or ending up in domestic violence. Why? Join the conversation as we explore how our collective stories may shed light on this important issue and learn what could be done to turn the tide.nnSaturday 4th MaynTime: 9am MSTnZoom link:nhttps://theonevalley.zoom.us/j/99729661379?pwd=[REDACTED]
