3 CEUs - may be counted as cultural responsiveness


Join us to explore the complex dimensions facing refugee and immigrant youth as they adjust to life in the United States. The webinar will focus on Black youth, given that this group has received less scholarly work historically to inform practice. We will use an intersectionality framework to understand the multidimensional identities impacting Black refugee and immigrant youth experiences and adjustment within and outside school settings. Attendees will examine the multiple identities of this group and understand how each of these identities impacts their lived experiences; explore interventions that have been used to support this group in different settings (school, home, community); and appraise self-awareness and understand biases in self and others and how these affects practice with refugees and immigrants’ youth with focus on Black youth.
