In honour of World Mental Health Day on October 10, N4 is focusing on the diverse and important topic of mental health and newcomers this month. Be sure to catch the recording of yesterday's webinar, ‘The Guitar in the Ceiling’ exploring music, trauma and healing, where Dr. Nancy Clark and Susan McDonald describe the role that music plays in healing, resiliency, and well-being for those who have experienced trauma as a result of war and oppression. The webinar also shares some policy and practice implications for newcomer-serving organizations to adopt arts-based approaches as a healing modality.
