Refugee Services Toolkit

The Refugee Services Toolkit (RST) is a web-based tool designed to help service system providers understand the experience of refugee children and families, identify the needs associated with their mental health, and ensure that they are connected with the most appropriate available interventions. The mental health and general well-being of refugee children and families can be impacted by multiple factors including their experience of trauma, stressors including resettlement, acculturation, and social isolation, as well as strengths that contribute to resilience. Providers can use community resources and supports to build resilience and reduce stress in refugee families. This toolkit is designed to

1. Identify risk factors
2. Recommend interventions
3. Provide resources
