Immediate Crisis Management to Recovery Measures
Assessment on youth, vulnerable groups and a predictable figure during the covid-19 crisis.
Young people already have less income at their disposal compared to the previous young generation. Young people are 2.5 times more likely to be unemployed than people aged 25-64. Therefore, when these intersect with other identity factors such gender, sex, race, ethnicity, intellectual, physical disability and socio-economic; disadvantage may exacerbate the vulnerability of young people. Different studies have shown that young people are less at risk in developing severe Covid-19 symptoms but are affected in other ways. The pandemic has hit vulnerable groups disproportionately and it is important recovery measures take note of this. Within various concepts of unemployment rates due to the pandemic that has hit social levels in our society, youth vulnerability and of such concern is the high unemployment of youth and their rising debts.

Mental Health and Depression
A study and observation in the Francophone community
According to Megan Bearce “Life can be stressful and having a safe, non-judgmental place to explore worries, fears, and relationships is so important.” This is more interactively in our social norms and cultural values that define who we are. Our culture defines who we are, what we should believe, accept as a problem and solutions in our daily lives ( Hernandez Mario 2009). Mental health is a critical topic and often regarded as taboo by different African cultures and thus makes it difficult to understand the issue. This study helps address the impacts of mental health in African families, youth and single parents by addressing language barriers, disinformation, and educating community in Alberta and Nova Scotia.

This study focuses on the African families and community in Alberta and Nova Scotia Canada and seeks to address the issue and therefore set recommendations.
