Identifying Mental Health Support for Refugee Students PowerUp
In this PowerUp participants will understand what mental health and psychosocial support means in refugee education. They will explore four tiers of psychosocial interventions for refugee students who have experienced stress or trauma, and reflect on students’ psychosocial needs and possible interventions in their own context.
*The term refugee, for the purposes of this course, refers to anyone forcibly displaced from their home country who has migrated to and/or been resettled in a new country.
