Culturally Responsive Practice for Forcibly Displaced Youth and Families

Presenters:

Christine Simbizi, Heidi Harrison, Marisela Santiago Tirado, Libby Steele

We will provide an overview of Cultural Competence and Cultural Humility and how to implement these two conceptual frameworks into culturally responsive practice when working with forcibly displaced youth and their families. We will examine the core resettlement experiences of forced displacement communities, as well as strategies for assessment and support through the use of a practical tool called the Refugee and Immigrant Core Stressors Toolkit.
