A multidisciplinary collaboration of educators, legal advocates, public health officials, behavioral health and primary care providers, academics and graduate health science students worked together to leverage creative funding and other resources to connect youth with legal representation, ensure school-based support, provide for youth development activities, and deliver comprehensive primary care and mental health services to this vulnerable population."]]> 2017-10-19 16:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/liviasaccount/z92k8c907ecf/wish/198763869 Article: A Risk and Resilience Perspective on Unaccompanied Refugee Minors, from a Lost Boy Perspective (Resilience) liviasaccount https://padlet.com/liviasaccount/z92k8c907ecf/wish/198765036 "Using a risk and resilience framework, we summarize the research on URMs, illustrating the challenges and issues with a case study of a resilient Lost Boy from Sudan who became a social worker. We discuss strengths, coping strategies, and resilience, exploring the ways in which many URMs are able to effectively meet the challenge of adapting to a new country and culture, thriving despite the extreme adversity they have experienced, as well as sources of resilience within URMs that have allowed them to adapt and even thrive in a vastly different cultural environment despite exposure to multiple risks.]]> 2017-10-19 16:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/liviasaccount/z92k8c907ecf/wish/198765036 Article: Alone and Unrepresented: A Call to Congress to Provide Counsel for Unaccompanied Minors (Need for Legal Representation) liviasaccount https://padlet.com/liviasaccount/z92k8c907ecf/wish/198766273 "Part I illustrates why unaccompanied minors in the United States need
legal representation by focusing on the complexity of immigration proceedings, the likelihood that children will be deprived of their liberty at some point in the process, and the law and practice relating to representation. Part 11 analyzes how developing regional and international legal standards for children's rights, refugee rights, and the right to free civil counsel support the right to free legal counsel for unaccompanied children in immigration proceedings. Part III identifies the differing approaches to legal representation for unaccompanied minors around the world, and Part IV endorses a model for representation for unaccompanied minors based on developing human rights law as well as best practices and ethical standards in the United States."]]> 2017-10-19 16:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/liviasaccount/z92k8c907ecf/wish/198766273 Article: Longitudinal follow-up of the mental health of unaccompanied refugee minors (Mental Health) liviasaccount https://padlet.com/liviasaccount/z92k8c907ecf/wish/198771617 "Traumatic experiences (SLE), mental health symptoms (HSCL-37A, RATS) and daily stressors (DSSYR) were measured at arrival in Belgium, after 6 and 18 months.

You will make an appointment with the Program Director, Community Leader or a designated person. The main goal of your visit will be to learn more about the program, refugee populations it servers, and services which are provided. You and your group will need to focus on assessment of the needs of newly arrived refugees. Your goal will be to design and implement a short volunteer project (no more than 10 hours) based on mutually agreed tasks as suggested by person you meet with. Your project needs to be negotiated, approved, and supervised by the assigned agency representative. 

The second part of this assignment - becoming an expert is based on the problem based learning and requires you and your group to work collectively to research a problem within the refugee communities and develop an expertise in an area for which you are doing your volunteer project. Most likely the problems will be related to one of the following areas: refugee children, refugee/immigrant/welfare, refugee/immigrant families: women and elders, refugee/immigrant health/mental health, services for refugees/immigrants, and acculturation/assimilation process among refugees/immigrants. Dr. kovacevic will assume a role of coach/mentor, and will guide each group in the process of researching an assigned problem."
