Description: This webinar is a follow-up to the “Tools and Strategies for Refugee Mental Health: Introducing the RHS-15” webinar in January 2012. Resettlement communities across the United States have expressed interest in offering early mental health screening for newly arrived refugees. This webinar is designed to discuss how the Refugee Health Screener-15 (RHS-15) was integrated into King County, WA, and profile the efforts to adopt the RHS-15 in different types of communities throughout the United States. Audience participants will be guided through a series of universal clinical considerations and site-specific decisions based on different community resources and structures. A question and answer session will follow.
