The Journeys That Define Us: Considerations for Working with Youth Impacted by Immigration and Refugee Trauma

The impact of trauma on youth has been well established. When one compounds the extraordinary trials and adversities that families experience as refugees during immigration the impact is exponential. This webinar will discuss the psychological impacts that occur and what support these families can benefit from. Resources from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and other evidence-based practices (e.g., Trauma-Focused CBT, which has multiple scientific studies on this population) will be cited. Finally, a specific case example will be used to tie together concepts into the concrete application.

All Justice Clearinghouse webinars are 75 minutes long (1 hour for formal presentation, 10-15 minutes for Q&A) .
