Montreal Immigration Support Group

A guided conversation about the parts of immigration that often remain invisible: loneliness, identity, work, belonging, uncertainty, and building a life that feels like yours.

Useful context, honest conversation, and room for your experience.

I introduce a practical topic, share a few ideas or questions, and facilitate a conversation where participants can exchange experiences without turning the meeting into advice-giving.

  • Loneliness, friendship, and rebuilding a social world
  • Identity changes and the feeling of starting from zero
  • Work, uncertainty, belonging, and comparing yourself with others
  • What helps life in a new country begin to feel like your own

A welcoming place to speak freely

Dasha had clear objectives and made me feel welcome to express myself freely. It was an inspiring and interesting encounter.
