Here in the United States, there is a lot of anti-immigration feeling of we don't need them in our economy. They're economy is dependent on immigration to Germany to create a more stable economy. It would be nice to see that positive shift toward immigration across the world instead of them being seen as invaders.

It's crazy that one time these countries that are taking Ukrainian refugees were refusing immigrants during previous this immigration crisis. Hearing that makes me think that people are more comfortable accepting immigrants for my countries they understand. Poland and Ukraine are both Slovak countries with a similar history.

For a time when I was living in the UK you do see groups that are anti anyone who is not white British. They have the philosophy that anyone who isn’t white British need to leave the country. It feels as a lot of education needs to take place to educate those in areas that will receive an influx of immigrants.  This can lead to better acceptance and understanding among the native populations.

- With often extensive trauma histories and the numerous stressors refugees face in resettlement, they often have poor access to mental health services

- Barriers:  language, cultural attitudes, and stigma regarding mental health treatment

- A large number of refugee children and youth are resettling in the United States, and many require mental health care.

-  Skills should include possessing the capacity to assess and effectively respond to a diverse range of exposures to abuse, neglect, and community violence postresettlement, in addition to high levels of war-related violence

-  Research has documented that children who have been victims of violence are at high risk of becoming violent themselves

-  Child victims who experience poly-victimization have been linked with even more negative outcomes than single victimization, including mental health  problems, delinquency, and other difficulties, including serious subsequent health conditions

-  Adults who were exposed as children to six or more traumatic events have a 20-year shorter life span

They did speak about caregivers that were part of this program of children who experience domestic abuse. It was most overwhemingly positive.
This is gonna be relevant since there are so many children that are leaving Ukraine without parents that there is going to need to be a program in place for those who do take and foster these children. Especially in the cases where one or both parents have died a result of the war.

Common experiences:  exposure to shooting, beatings, starvation, and the witnessing of killings

- 61% of kids in this study qualified for both PTSD and MMD symptoms

As much as these kids were not kidnapped to fight the war some 15- to 19-year-old are staying because her parents are there and they're going to leave their country. Factors that could be excluded from the study is motor for turn as in terms of frequency of abduction as no one is forced to fight currently.

The program was replicated by Care International in the North Caucasus and recently in Iraq

Foundation “TOGETHER
 - Psychosocial training for teachers aimed at strengthening their capacities to help special needs, traumatized, and otherwise emotionally affected children
- Development and support of child mental health institutions
- Training for medical workers to help them provide psychological assistance to children and parents as part of primary health care services
- etc....

This group is trying to use school as a protective factor for these kids. 

Good school achievement through supportive relationships with teachers and peers, being successful in endeavors such as sports and art, and showing talent in other activities, is nowadays recognized as important protective factor in children burdened with risk factors.

Empowering and educating teachers to create positive psychosocial climates in schools and provide psychosocial support to children in need are valuable interventions from which all children can benefit

Many had witnessed the army firing into school grounds and assaults in public on teachers and pupils; schools were also regularly shut by Israeli military authorities for indefinite periods. Our community surveys showed a 

High prevalence of nervousness, fears, restlessness, sleep disturbance, nocturnal enuresis, and psychosomatic symptoms among children. Teachers reported aggressive behaviour and reduced concentration and performance in the classroom. 

There is a lack of longer term studies anywhere of the impact of prolonged exposure to militarised violence and threat on the developmental processes of children and their future mental health 

Commonest presenting symptoms were recurrent frightening  memories, nightmares, weeping, social withdrawal, loss of appetite, aggressive play, and phobias concerning the dark or soldiers.

- In Italy and Poland, more say immigrants are a burden

- In the U.S., six-in-ten adults (59%) say immigrants make the country stronger because of their work and talents, while one-third (34%) say immigrants are a burden because they take jobs and social benefits.

- Those on the left of the ideological spectrum are more positive about immigration’s impact on their country than those on the right

- Japan is an outlier: A large majority of the public (75%) says immigrants want to adopt the country’s customs and way of life.

- Publics are less concerned about immigrant crime than the risk they pose for terrorism

- Majorities in most immigrant destination countries surveyed support the deportation of people who are in their countries illegally

Actively I suppport goal 2 which is zero hunger as I have become more aware not to waste food that I am given. People in the developed world waste so much food on a weekly basis. Along with goal 4 which is quality education since I have spent some time in education I understand the importance of education as many children as possible. You educate a population with the hope that they can grow up to help their country improve.

Part 2: The main reason for this phenomenon of those with the fewest resources first of all don't have always have the resouces to leave. Along with the fact they may not know about what opportunties they could have if they migrated. Something I have seen with Ukranie is that people love their home so much they do not always want to leave. 

Part 3: What I got out the speaker is that covid has effect how countries can participate in the UN because of the economic issues. This could potentially affect how many immigrants they could accept if they are struggling economically. That also that the economic of Ukraine does have an impact on countries like Africa with grain. The UN is about helping those developing countries which make it more difficult with this world issues that are going on. The way I connect his material is that the connect that the whole world will impact is that those in vulunerable countries who are struggling worse than before. This makes me worry will this cause a mass exit from some of those countries. As we have seen at the Mexican border in the past. ]]> 2022-04-25 04:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/riveradmr/6n64qah8u94ywnyo/wish/2155903977 Understanding Strengths in Relation to Complex Trauma and Mental Health Symptoms within Child Welfare riveradmr https://padlet.com/riveradmr/6n64qah8u94ywnyo/wish/2159318444 - Sample included children and adolescents entering into an intensive stabilization program for youth in foster care through the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (IDCFS)

- The weekly 2- to 3-h mentoring visits were tailored to children’s strengths and interests and sought to help children generalize the skills they were learning in their weekly groups.

- FHF appears to have positive effects on youth in foster care who bring with them diverse relational histories.

- youth’s history of caregiving transitions plays in a formal mentoring intervention effectiveness is logical and consistent with previous literature.

- Youth who have already had numerous transitions in caregiving relationships may be less willing to invest in a new relationship

-  Within FHF, mentors persisted with youth during all caregiver transitions, including reunification and adoption, and prioritized this consistency for children, thereby limiting avoidable disruptions in the mentoring relationship and program.

The first experience is running back to many women who do not get paid as much as men especially if you are someone of color. The more we can target wage and social protection policies it will create a situation where they participate better in our economy which will only strengthen are economy. the one thing that you always hear people complaining is oh our economy isn't great becomes that not everyone can participate. This is one way you can encourage those who are lower income spend money because of the extra income to spend.

I do you agree that there are two definitions to multiculturalism. Being that I am Mexican but the small fraction of me that is white it's what the world sees for those who don't pay much attention. In multicultural is also about the experiences that you see that you may not experience if you're just participating in the political process. So reading this I feel that participating in the multiculturalism as a political process is the fraction that anyone of any race can participate in. Being that the goal it's to manage diversity That is a conversation that everyone should have a seat at the table to better come up with solutions. But when you look at the first definition it is about the experiences of actually living through what it means to be multicultural And the positives and negatives that go with that. in a way I like the definition because of those that I've had the privilege of not having those lived experiences can have a part in that political process with those that have had the lived experiences being able to educate those who have not.
