Making Your Way is for resettlement agency trainers who provide Cultural Orientation domestically. Each of the eleven content chapters starts with a short lesson called The Basics that addresses particularly pressing information for that topic. The chapters contain two to six additional lesson plans, along with supplemental images, posters, and handouts. While the complete curriculum is 761 pages, we offer The Complete Basics, individual chapters, and supplemental materials as separate downloads.
This unit focuses on the following key points:
- There are different health care services in the United States, and refugees should know where to go for which services.
- Urgent and routine health care services are different from one another and are found in different places.
- The local resettlement agency will schedule initial health screenings and immunizations and assist with obtaining other health care services as needed.
- There are customs and laws in the United States regarding personal and public hygiene.
