Refugee Health Education
Navigating through the complexities of a new environment in the United States is very challenging. Through our collaboration with community- and faith-based organizations (mosques, cultural centers, foundations, associations, school districts), SI conducts in-person and virtual education sessions, workshops, and webinars to the Afghan refugees. These education sessions are evidence-based, culturally congruent, trauma-informed, and tailored specifically for Afghan refugees.
Our refugee health educational and informational activities include innovative social media and video content development.
Our education courses include but are not limited to:
Refugee Health (general)
Navigating health system (differences in Afghanistan versus the United States).
Refugee Mental Health
Trauma impact on health and well-being
Refugee children and youth health (child trauma, ACEs, parenting)
Addressing refugee children and youth health at the school setting
