According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, many refugees, especially children, have experienced trauma related to violence, persecution, and other unsafe conditions in their country of origin, during displacement, or in the resettlement process in the U.S. that may impact their mental and physical health long after these experiences have occurred. During this 3-hour webcast, presenters will identify the factors contributing to adverse mental health outcomes among Hispanic and/or Latino communities that have recently immigrated or sought asylum in the U.S. and will offer providers meaningful intervention strategies for supporting individuals with these experiences.
