Adapting to a new home: resettlement and mental health service experiences of immigrant and refugee youth in Montreal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Resettlement and mental health services are critical support systems for refugee and immigrant youth (RIY) as they navigate the complexities of settling into their new homes. These services play a vital role in meeting the needs of RIY and helping them feel welcomed into Canadian society. The purpose of this study is to provide insight into RIY's experiences with resettlement and mental health service providers in Montreal, Canada. Adopting a descriptive quantitative research approach, this study utilized online surveys to gather data. The findings indicate that cultural and linguistic barriers are the major obstacles faced by refugee and immigrant youth when accessing resettlement and mental health services in Montreal. Protective resources, such as family, friends, and ethnic communities, were identified as important facilitators of successful integration into Canadian society. To improve services, cultural sensitivity should be a priority for providers, as recommended by this study. By acknowledging the significance of cultural barriers in accessing resettlement and mental health services, this study emphasizes the need for service providers to prioritize cultural sensitivity in their efforts to improve services.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
