Mental Health and HIV

Immigrants, refugees, and non-status people living with HIV/AIDS (I/R/N-PHAs) in Canada have complex psychosocial needs and face profound barriers when accessing mental health services. The Community for Accessible AIDS treatment (with support from the OHTN) has undertaken a study involving 47 newcomer PHAs and 103 service providers to identify various IRN-PHA and service provider perspectives. 


The subsequent report presents the highlights of the project, Improving Access to Mental Health Services for Immigrants, Refugees and Non-status People Living with HIV/AIDS in the Greater Toronto Area.
