We are celebrating completion of another successful scholarly project between Nashi Immigrants Health Board and student scholars from University of Washington School of Nursing https://lnkd.in/gUkiM9_h
Last week, at the University of Washington Undergraduate Research Symposium, students from University of Washington School of Nursing presented their work in partnership with Nashi Immigrants Health Board: "Nashi Warm Line Needs Assessment: Supporting Ukrainian Refugees with Emotional Health and Resource Allocation", which highlighted preliminary data about caller needs from analysis of Warm Line call data. The top five call support categories included: emotional support, housing, career, language access and education. Nashi's Ukrainian warm line operators offer support and resources for these and many other additional needs every day as part of their mental health peer support programming.

Nashi Immigrants Health Board had an opportunity to present information about our mental health services for Ukrainian refugees in partnership with Professor Karyna Tytar and Lake Washington Institute of Technology at the Assessment, Teaching and Learning conference in Yakima last week. The presentation: "Fostering Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) in Local Immigrant and Refugee Communities" provided insights about PTG and how academic/community partnerships can provide additional support resources for students. Both speakers, Tamara Cyhan Cunitz, MN, RN and Karyna Tytar were trained in PTG principles via Boulder Crest Foundation.

One important tool to promote culturally-responsive care for communities is an evidence-based report, i.e. cultural profile. The report educates providers about historical, cultural and social aspects of a specific cultural or ethnic community and this can strengthen provider-patient interactions to increase the quality of care delivered. EthnoMed strives to help integrate 'cultural information into clinical practice' and partnered with us for the publication of the 'Ukrainian Cultural Profile' featured here. This tool can help your organization identify needs and provide high-quality, culturally-responsive care to Ukrainians living in your community. https://lnkd.in/g2UtrA9e
