This moderated roundtable discussion will engage mental health practitioners and researchers on how to best promote the wellbeing of students from refugee and immigrant backgrounds. Panelists will discuss newcomers’ unique challenges and strengths, cultural responsiveness in psychosocial interventions, layered supports, and therapeutic modalities in both US and global contexts.
This discussion is open to all, but may be especially insightful for therapists and clinicians, researchers, school counselors, social workers, and school administrators who support newcomer mental health in their roles.
This program is the third session of the SALaMA Webinar Series.
