This study stemmed from a growing level of stress among immigrant and refugee women in Canada and the popularity of using social media for seeking and providing support, especially among minority and vulnerable populations. It examined how newcomer women in Canada use social media to enhance their mental well-being. This study utilized an exploratory sequential mixed method research design by employing 17 semi-structured interviews and conducting a content analysis of 1,347 social media messages posted by 156 newcomer women in Canada.The qualitative findings revealed that social media helped these newcomer women during their pre-arrival and post-arrival to Canada (both which are two crucial times of migration). However, the effectiveness of social media was dependent on the participants socio-economic and migration status. While social media played a significant role for immigrant women pre-arrival and provided them with inside information, using social media was a source of concern for refugee women due to personal safety, immigration proceedings, and customs. Social media was evidently useful for resisting and coping with stress and contributed to online community connectedness. However, a significant number of participants reported self-censorship and deliberately silenced themselves in an effort to protect themselves from unwelcoming remarks, online harassment, and negativity in general. The quantitative results showed that newcomer women mostly use social media for receiving information (26.20%), followed by esteem support (6.5%), networking (4%), and emotional support (.8%). Also, positive mood was used more than negative mood by newcomer women. The positive and negative mood messages were mostly used on Facebook rather than Twitter.
