What questions do you most commonly get in your workplace or community about refugees and resettlement? Do you feel well poised to answer these questions and advocate for newcomers? In today’s political climate, it is critical that we understand the refugee resettlement process, especially if working with this vulnerable population. This module aims to humanize the refugee experience and will cover some of the basics: what is a refugee and the push/pull factors of migration. Instructors discuss the pre-arrival process, including security measures, and post-arrival services. There is a special emphasis on child-specific issues.
