Support program for families of migrant children with special health needs
This study tests a program designed to help families of migrant children (born outside Canada or whose parents were born elsewhere) who have special health needs. It provides a peer navigator to guide families through transitions between different types of care, like moving from a family doctor to a specialist or hospital.
