Session 4: Immigrant and Refugee Health
Reflect on these questions before coming to session!
Why do people leave their home countries? What factors might people consider when deciding to leave?
Think of the quote: "[...] what we are seeing now is a situation where the U.S. set a house on fire and as the flames have raged, the U.S. is standing against the people trying to flee the fire that Washington set to their home." How does this apply to the influx of migrants and refugees to the US? Are there any current world events for which this might be relevant?
If you suddenly were forced to move to another country, what challenges might you anticipate? How would a pandemic increase these challenges?
