Settling into a new home in a new country can be lonely.
Having a support group is a great way to meet new people, form friendships, and settle into the community.
Starting January 18, 2024, newcomers based in the Yarmouth area are invited to join the Newcomers Peer Support Group. Led by Livinus Numfor and Elizabeth Zavala Nunez, this peer support group offers an opportunity to connect, support each other, share stories, discuss strategies for solving problems and reflect on their experiences.
