Co-hosted together with Refugee Education UK (REUK), this moderated roundtable discussion will review promising and evidence-based programs, including two SALaMA interventions: FORWARD with Peers, a 10-session program to bolster leadership and social emotional learning skills, and EMPOWER, a 7-session PhotoVoice program to center newcomer student experiences and priorities. This session is designed for an audience of social workers, teachers, administrators, and other service providers, as they hope that the conversation will highlight programmatic approaches to strengthening newcomer adolescent resilience and fostering supportive peer relationships in school and community settings. (This program is the second session of the SALaMA Webinar Series).
The objective of the SALaMA Webinar Series is to disseminate our research findings while engaging with educators, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers on a variety of topics related to the well-being of newcomer adolescents from the Middle East and North African region.
