Abstract
With more immigrants coming to Canada, mental health providers are supporting increasingly diverse clients. The Supporting Successful Transplantation (SST) tool offers a potential solution to explore intersectional aspects of newcomer identities; to identify their diverse challenges, including shared issues like racism and discrimination, as well as their unique strengths, and resources. The SST tool emerged from the findings of a study of immigrants to southern Alberta. Using the universal visual metaphor of a tree planted in new conditions, it seeks to provide an intuitive and collaborative way to identify migrants' strengths and challenges and honour their diverse contexts. In this note from the field, we overview the SST resource and its development and provide suggestions for how various community professionals may utilize it in collaboration with their newcomer clients.
