The scale of the global refugee crisis is staggering. More than 82 million people worldwide have been displaced from their homes.

Moreover, this workshop will also explore the role of social workers to address the specific needs of refugees, drawing on current research to support refugee children, youth, and their families in the U.S. and abroad.Registration for this course is closed.
