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.

While the complete curriculum is 761 pages, we offer The Complete Basics, individual chapters, and supplemental materials as separate downloads.
