🩺 Ensuring Health and Wellness for All Newcomers 🩺

When Aadila arrived in Canada, she was facing severe health challenges, from malnutrition to debilitating pain. But thanks to the dedicated efforts of IRCOM’s Family Settlement Coordinator, Nahla, and Life Skills Worker, Aida, Aadila received the care she desperately needed.

Our team didn’t just connect her with a doctor—they walked alongside her, ensuring she had interpretation and advocacy at every step. They even found her a dentist who could help her at a low cost. Today, Aadila is healthier, happier, and on the road to recovery.

This is the kind of impact your support makes possible. Every day, our staff go above and beyond to ensure that newcomers like Aadila receive the care and attention they deserve.

Help us continue this vital work by contributing to our health and wellness programs. Together, we can build a healthier future for all. 💙

At IRCOM, our staff go above and beyond to support newcomers like Aadila, who fled Afghanistan and moved into our community this summer. When Nahla, our Family Settlement Coordinator, and Aida, our Life Skills Worker, discovered that Aadila was struggling—disoriented, suffering from stomach pain, and dealing with severe tooth pain—they knew they had to act.

Nahla and Aida walked alongside Aadila, helping her navigate her new life in Winnipeg. From practicing her route to English classes to accompanying her to the doctor and finding a dentist willing to help. ability, they ensured she wasn`t alone in her journey. Thanks to their dedicated support, Aadila`s health is improving, and she`s beginning to find her footing in her new home.

This is what IRCOM is all about—empowering newcomers with the care and guidance they need to thrive. 💪🏽

At a recent vaccine clinic day at IRCOM, we were able to provide critical vaccinations for COVID, flu, pneumonia, HPV, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella and more to 140 newcomers who dropped by.

Health and wellness continue to be among IRCOM’s most critically needed services. Our health education sessions on topics including reproductive health, mental health, and vaccines are among our most popular programs. We need your help to grow these services.

Your gifts help us create a community of newcomers who have access to equitable healthcare here in Winnipeg. Your contribution today will ensure that more people get the health and wellness support they need in a new country.
