We explore how culture (beliefs, values, attitudes, biases, and experiences) powerfully shapes relationships and behaviors related to the promotion of infant mental health. We consider the importance of self-awareness for providing culturally-sensitive services.

Refugee Children's Mental Health: Influence of Culture and Trauma
This session will explore the cultural nuances to mental health access within refugee families -- the vulnerabilities, stigma, and understanding of the American healthcare system, concept of refugee children's mental health, nutrition, stress management, and general approaches to healthcare. We will examine the adjustment challenges of refugees once they settle in the United States with emphasis on past trauma, and new stressors.
