Event Description
Ohio has seen a significant rise in refugee arrivals, from around 1,500 in 2019 to over 2,800 in 2023, with Cuyahoga County receiving 30% of these, primarily from Afghanistan, Syria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Local experts will discuss refugee resettlement in Cleveland, focusing on the unique needs and challenges of child and adolescent refugees, as well as the impact of political asylum on family wellbeing.
Join the Schubert Center for Child Studies for the conversation will be Bridget Haas, assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology; Suzanne LeSure, clinical psychologist at Catholic Charities, Migration and Refugee Services; Stephanie Deuley, refugee health clinical lead and family physician at Neighborhood Family Practice; and Katie Paul, refugee health services coordinator.
Bagels and coffee will be available to those attending in person. This event will also be live-streamed and recorded.
