Pathways to Wellness: Integrating Refugee Health and Well-Being
Description:
Seattle is the U.S. entry point for thousands of refugees who have suffered significant violence, deprivation and loss. Pathways to Wellness provides early identification of emotional distress by adding a culturally appropriate mental health screening to the required physical examination at Public Health Seattle & King County. Individuals are then referred to community mental health agencies that have been given special training in refugee issues. Staff of the partner agencies speak over 40 languages and reflect the ethnic communities they serve including refugees from Burma, Bhutan, Somalia, Iraq and the former Soviet Union.
