Forced Migration: Trauma, Trends and Solutions

We will hear from three experts with different perspectives and experiences related to forced migration. From global trends to local resettlement, how can refugees and immigrants overcome traumas experienced in-country and fleeing from conflict, and find their way to a new life? How does racism impact their ability to cope, adapt and build resilience? What role can our community play in creating a safe environment?

Speakers:
– Michael Collins, Institute for Economics and Peace
