The conference will be broken down into three tracks:

• Healthcare/Mental Healthcare
• Education
• Building a Strong Community

Track workshops specific to the services your organization provides will be led by regional experts with practical experience and exemplary programs serving refugees in their own communities.  Each workshop will also include a refugee panel for Q&A to discuss the needs and experiences of the local refugee population and networking opportunities to discuss practical implantation of new ideas.

Plenary sessions will include information on the global refugee situation and the process by which refugees are resettled to the United States.

Cultural Workshops will focus specifically on awareness of the cultures of our main local refugee populations—Iraqi, Somali, Burmese, and Nepali. These workshops will provide the background of the history of the conflicts in these areas and information about refugee cultures to enable us to better serve these populations.
