Building a strong support network within the workplace can further assist in managing stress and preventing burnout.

What are immigration refugees?

Immigration refugees are individuals who are forced to flee their home country due to persecution, war, or violence, and seek protection in another country. They are unable to return home because of a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Refugees are recognized and protected under international law, and may be granted the right to live, work, and eventually become citizens in their host country.
