Refugee populations experience disproportionately high rates of mental health conditions and chronic diseases, yet often face significant barriers to accessing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care.
In this session from the Global Refugee Mental Health Symposium, Dr. Tala Al-Rousan shares evidence-based approaches to mental health screening and chronic disease management for refugee communities, drawing on years of community-engaged research and clinical practice.
Focusing on Afghan refugees resettled in California and an ongoing NIH-funded clinical trial involving Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) refugees, Dr. Al-Rousan explores practical strategies to improve mental health screening, medication adherence, and healthcare outcomes through trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing.
Whether you are a clinician, researcher, policymaker, student, or community leader, this presentation offers valuable insights into building more equitable and culturally responsive healthcare systems for displaced populations.
