      Immigrant and newcomer parents face significant barriers to accessing mental health care in Canada. The present exploratory study investigated the following questions: (RQ1) what motivators and barriers to accessing mental health supports in Canada are reported by immigrant parents, (RQ2) what features would they want included in an online resource, (RQ3) what are the relationships between stressful experiences, family resources, social support, and motivators/barriers reported by immigrant parents, and (RQ4) what are the differences in these variables between immigrant and Canadian-born parents? 152 Canadian immigrant parents were recruited using the online AskingCanadians platform where they were redirected to take an online survey via REDCap. Data was examined using descriptive statistics, correlations, regression, and independent samples t-tests. For RQ1, the highest endorsed motivator was wanting to improve one’s own parenting skills and the highest endorsed barrier was concerns about financial costs. For RQ2, parents reported wanting to access a shorter program via the web that was delivered and developed by psychologists. For RQ3, immigrant parents’ motivators and barriers were correlated with stressful experiences and social support. Regression and moderation analyses further explored these relationships. For RQ4, immigrant parents reported fewer stressful experiences, family resources, and motivators than Canadian-born parents. This research demonstrated that stressful experiences and social support could be worth investigating in future research as possible avenues for reducing barriers and increasing motivators. This study also provided a first step toward creating online resources for parent populations who have greater difficulty in accessing mental health care but are in critical need of it.
