Our MN COE partners have recently published an article about providing trauma-informed care and screening in Afghan refugee children. Highlights include an overview of trauma-informed care principles and insights into several screening tools for a variety of situations including stress, emotional disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression.
Our MN COE partners have also published a community case study that describes the State of Minnesota’s cross-sectoral response that addressed the acute medical needs of the Afghan arrivals during Operation Allies Welcome in the fall of 2021.
