Worker Well-being: Temporary Migrant Workers and Compassion Fatigue, Vicarious Trauma, and Burnout
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the diverse topic of worker well-being more than ever before. Here at N4 we believe that mental health is as important as physical health, and that as with physical health, for a truly healthy society we need to work together to support the mental health of those around us.

N4 needs your input!
The Community of Practice (CoP) aims to create a dynamic, active learning system that spans health, settlement, social service and other sectors in support of N4 to deliver an optimal experience to refugees and newcomers.

The Afghan refugee crisis – what’s on your mind?
The N4 team has been closely watching the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, as well as the promise of the Canadian government to resettle particularly vulnerable Afghans in Canada.
We want to hear from you:
- What are you most concerned about in this crisis?
- Are you already seeing the impact of the Afghan refugee crisis in your work?
- Do you have any resources to share that could be helpful to others working with Afghan refugees?
- What can those of us who work with Afghan refugees learn from Canada’s past experience of welcoming Syrian refugees?

N4 Annual Report 2020-2021
This past year will forever be in our minds and hearts as that of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racism. Our collective desire to solve the health inequities and discrimination faced by newcomers challenged N4 and its members to amend services while simultaneously problem solve how to breakdown the heightened systemic barriers as the world moved to digitally based service models.
