The Best Start Resource Centre is pleased to offer service providers a
new resource and a workshop titled 

"Giving Birth in a New Land - Strategies for Service Providers Working
with Newcomers". 

 

The manual shares information about the beliefs and practices of
newcomer women when accessing reproductive health services. 

It explains strategies for service providers to offer services in a
culturally competent manner. The manual is available for download or
purchase at:

http://www.beststart.org/resources/rep_health/index.html
<http://www.beststart.org/resources/rep_health/index.html>  

 

We will also offer a half-day regional workshop on the topic where the
manual will "come alive", with real-life examples and discussion. 

The objectives of this workshop are to: 

-       Increase knowledge of the beliefs and practices of newcomer
women. 

-       Provide strategies to help newcomer women and their families
understand Ontario health practices. 

-       Discuss strategies that can be used by service providers, within
their organizational mandate, to accommodate the needs of newcomer women
and their families.
