Description
Immigrants and refugees represent a distinct health disparity population. This group is disproportionately affected by mental illness and is more susceptible to chronic diseases. Additionally, this underserved population is more likely to be uninsured, to lack access to care, and experience poorer health outcomes from preventable and treatable conditions when compared to their counterparts. This webinar will focus on efforts to address these challenges through on-going academic-community partnerships focusing on the mental health of immigrant and refugee communities in the southeast, with a focus on Georgia.
Format
Live, interactive webinar.
