Психологічна підтримка новачків: управління стресом у новій реальності

Have you ever felt emotionally drained, unable to focus, or disconnected from your surroundings?Many newcomers experience overwhelming stress while adjusting to a new life. When unspoken, this stress can quietly erode our well-being — affecting work, family, and personal peace.

On January 11, 2023, we hosted a seminar titled “Psychological Support for Newcomers” at the Taras Shevchenko Centre in Etobicoke.This event provided practical tools to help participants recognize and manage emotional tension, anxiety, and stress — using simple, accessible exercises that can be practiced at home.

Led by psychologist Rostyslav Shemechko and other mental health professionals, the seminar offered guidance on:

• how to stop the cycle of anxious thoughts

• how to restore focus and energy
