Tools for Organizations to Support the Mental Health of Afghan Newcomers

Afghan people who are forced to leave their country and start over in a new place have great strength and bravery. It is also a very difficult thing to do. It is common for people who have experienced difficult things to have feelings like fear, anger, sadness and sorrow at the same time that they feel relieved or glad to be safe. This collection of health communications, promising practices, checklists, guides, and training opportunities from NRC-RIM will help any organization improve their efforts to support Afghan newcomers as they navigate the complicated emotions and stressors that come with migration.
