CORE developed the Refugee Communications Toolkit to provide an overview of CORE’s Refugee Communications Initiative and provide guidance on using the tools CORE has developed to enhance your organization’s communication with refugees about the resettlement process and Cultural Orientation.
Refugee Communications Challenges
During the resettlement process, refugees need vital information to prepare for and adjust to life in the United States. They need this information when their attention may be divided as their living circumstances are significantly changing and their mental resources are likely stretched. This may make it difficult for them to retain new concepts. Under these challenging circumstances, resettlement staff must ensure that refugees consistently receive accurate information.
Refugee Communications Solutions
Organizations can overcome these challenges by empowering all staff—from caseworkers and health and employment specialists to those responsible for delivering Cultural Orientation—to utilize these tools.
