Every year, Ohio receives refugee arrivals from around the world. In the last five years, Ohio has seen an increase in arrivals, from approximately 1500 refugees arriving in 2019 to over 2800 in 2023. Cuyahoga County saw 30% of overall OH arrivals in 2023, primarily from Afghanistan, Syria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Given this increase and the complexity of care needs for this population, local experts will provide an overview of refugee resettlement in Cleveland, particularly emphasizing the specific needs and challenges facing child and adolescent refugees. The impact of political asylum on child and family well-being will also be discussed.
