Advancing Newcomer Wellness (ANEW) Research Lab

Our Mission

We aim to advance mental health equity for migrant communities by improving both access to care and the quality and experience of that care.

Our work centers linguistic accessibility, cultural responsiveness, and community strengths, recognizing that mental health care must be grounded in the lived realities of diverse communities.

We seek to understand what migrant communities need to achieve well-being within their cultural, social, and structural contexts, and to use research as a tool to support healing, equity, and systemic change.

We are committed to reducing stigma, fostering hope, and promoting action through research, collaboration, mentorship, and training.
