Welcome to Voices on the Move, where storytelling, advocacy, and voice come together. Here, we share critical writing, lived experiences, and student-led perspectives on displacement, migration, and justice.
Malvern is home to many Sri Lankan Tamil newcomers who rebuilt their lives after fleeing war and genocide. Youth face cultural stigma, long wait times, and limited access to mental health care. Many prefer community led spaces like CanTYD where Tamil speaking staff offer safe, culturally grounded support. Their experiences show the need for accessible, culturally responsive mental health care for newcomer youth.
