Raising Awareness

 
 
 
 
 

For area professionals and volunteers we provide a series of educational opportunities. Community education is fostered locally through special events and presentations at colleges, community groups, faith communities and conferences which seek to build a more welcoming community for new Americans.

Current professional development workshops include:

  • Working with Survivors of Torture: An Introduction to the Center
  • New Neighbors: An overview of refugee acculturation and integration issues
  • Bridging the Gap: Working with Interpreters
  • The Road to Becoming a New American: Immigration issues
  • Connecting Across Cultures: Competency in working with clients from Bosnia/Vietnam/Somalia/Colombia

 

Trainings and workshops can be tailored to the unique needs of your program or office. Please call for details
