  ACE RESILIENCE PROGRAM -ARP

ACE RESILIENCE, aims to create multicultural and intergenerational healing environments facilitated by health and wellness professionals for the most impacted immigrant families. According to a Health Canada report, isolation has disconnected and broken many families. This program will offer discovery trips, fulfilling retreats among the many adapted sites in Alberta. 
The mental health issues related to covid that we identified were

Depression: some community members have experienced bouts of depression and low mood due to limited or prolonged lack of social interaction

 Isolation: some community members have lost their jobs as a result of COVID-19. There was a tendency to self-isolation, a decline in self-esteem and a lack of motivation.

Single mothers were particularly affected by mental health problems during covid


Regarding the above-mentioned concerns that we identified among the community, we set ourselves the goal to prevent longer-term mental health illnesses, including those associated with COVID-19 related traumatic experiences.
Here is the upcoming ARP’S agenda (depending on funding)
