Social Work

The clinic has recently moved to a new enlarged facility in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough. Under the same roof as our founders and long-standing supporters, The Canadian Centre for Refugee and Immigrant Health Care.

Starting a refugee life over again in a foreign country, fleeing on long dangerous journeys presents daunting challenges and pitfalls. Our social workers assist with a number of different challenges that refugees and undocumented workers experience.

CCRIHC Social Work Supports Include:

Food Security
Housing & Resettlement
Supporting Canadian Status Applications
Access to Community Resources
Access to LAUNCH Program
Employment and Skills Development
