On Tuesday, February 24, at 2pm ET, the Center for Health and Health Care in Schools is hosting a webinar regarding how to help refugee and immigrant students achieve success in school. The webinar “will highlight successful strategies for supporting the mental health needs of immigrant and refugee students, focusing on engaging the family, which is often a close-knit and protective force in the child’s life. Immigrant and refugee students face challenges to learning beyond mastering a new language. The strategies to be presented were identified through the Caring Across Communities initiative, a series of innovative partnerships among schools, mental health service providers, and immigrant and refugee community organizations in 15 communities around the country, supported by grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.”
