N4’s Community of Practice (CoP) recently brought together Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from the health and settlement sectors to develop an Afghan Resettlement Toolkit to support professionals from the healthcare sector, settlement sector, education sector and other public-serving sectors in providing equitable access and services to Afghan newcomers.
Topics included in the toolkit are:
- Healthcare
- Settlement
- Education & Childcare
- Dari/Pashto Language & Interpretation
- Community Connections
- Afghan Culture & Society
- Trauma-Informed Approach
- Research Ethics and Opportunities
The toolkit is a compilation of high-quality existing resources in a centralized source, making it easier for newcomer-serving professionals to access the information they need to support their Afghan clients or patients. Prior to being added to the toolkit, resources are reviewed to ensure they meet N4’s quality and information standards.
Have questions, feedback or concerns about any of the materials included in the toolkit, or an additional resource to recommend? You can reach us at info@newcomernavigation.ca.
