Loneliness is on the rise in Canada, with young people and immigrants among the highest risk groups. Yet most interventions focus on older adults, leaving a critical gap in supports for youth and young adults ages 15–34.

This session equips social workers and allied professionals with practical tools to better serve youth who are newcomers or have immigrated to Canada experiencing transient or chronic loneliness. Learn how to conduct holistic psychosocial assessments, apply evidence-informed interventions, and strengthen your equity-informed practice with sustainable strategies.

- Understand the unique impact of loneliness on youth and young adults who are newcomers or were born outside of Canada

- Gain tools for comprehensive assessments

- Explore social work strategies that create meaningful and lasting impact
