Toolkit: Creating Healthy Spaces for Refugee, Immigrant, and Migrant Communities
Toolkit: Creating Healthy Spaces for Refugee, Immigrant, and Migrant Communities
National Resource Center for Refugees, Immigrants, and Migrants (NRC-RIM)
Toolkit helps organizations ensure their spaces are set up to honor people in refugee, immigrant, and migrant communities and support the trusted relationships that are needed to have conversations about healthcare that ultimately lead to behavior change. Earning clients’ trust begins as soon as they enter a space; it must feel welcoming and relatable in order to create a sense of belonging and safety. As staying up to date on COVID-19 boosters and catching up on routine vaccinations becomes more important, having a thoughtfully designed space can ultimately support healthier communities. The resource includes an overview of the benefits of building inclusive spaces, case studies, and templates for outreach.
