| Description |
This seminar will explore the potential of leveraging home visiting to buffer the adverse impact of immigration trauma while promoting mental health and adjustment for new refugee/immigrant arrivals with young children. This is an added benefit beyond supporting young children in meeting their developmental agenda. Participants will learn about the critical importance of relational home visiting models and will be introduced to Baby TALK, Inc., an evidence-informed model that has been widely implemented in Illinois and in recent years, shown positive impacts in refugee and immigrant communities. Key lessons of home visiting and the needs of refugee/immigrant families will be shared along with next steps given the current pandemic and general sociopolitical climate.
