Культурная ориентация

Say: As a reminder, Cultural Orientation is an opportunity to learn more about life in the U.S. and this community.

In these sessions, we talk about many topics important to living in this community. The information shared today will connect to and expand on what you may have learned in previous Cultural Orientation sessions.
During Cultural Orientation, we provide some basic information to help you see the big picture early when you first arrive in this community.
We invite you to share what you know and any questions you may have. Your voice and ideas are valued in these sessions. There will be time for you to reflect and talk to each other.
You will learn more about these topics as you work with your case manager and other people connected to the resettlement process. If you have questions or concerns specific to your case, contact your case manager or talk to me after the session.

Здравствуйте, меня зовут____.

Я здесь____недель.

Если говорить о жизни в Америке, то меня удивляет то, что __________.

Say: Let us take a moment to say hello to each other. Introduce yourself by saying your name and sharing something about life in the U.S. so far.

(Have each facilitator and interpreter model before asking participants to share. After giving the directions and modeling the activity, invite participants to say hello. You can take volunteers or go around the room.)

Notes: Having participants say hello and introduce themselves is a way to set a welcoming tone. Throughout the session, participants will have opportunities to interact, and saying hello in the first few minutes will get participants warmed up. Spend 5-7 minutes on this activity.

Modifications: If the group is large, instead of having everyone introduce themselves to the whole group, you can provide an opportunity for people to introduce themselves to 3 people around them.

Say: During today’s session, we will talk about the following topics:

Health and Hygiene: We will talk about ways to stay healthy and how to take care of yourself when you are sick or injured
Safety: You will learn how to stay safe in the community
Then we will talk about U.S. Laws and the rights and responsibilities of living in the U.S. and this community

(Press Enter or click forward.) Let’s start with our first topic, health and hygiene.

Say: Think about the health practices in your home country. When someone got injured or sick, what did you typically do? Let’s look at a few situations. (Point at each image as you ask about it. As participants share, acknowledge responses.)

What did you do if you had a runny nose? Who would like to share?
What did you do if you had a broken bone?
What about pain in your chest?
What if you cut yourself?

What are some other common ways of treating illnesses in your home country?

(After a few minutes of people sharing their thinking) Thank you for sharing your experience. We will look at some healthcare practices in the U.S. As you listen and participate, think about what is similar to your past experiences and what is new.

Notes: Inviting participants to share their previous experiences serves multiple purposes.

It conveys to participants that their experiences are valued.
Having participants think about their prior health care practices will help them connect to the information presented.
It can help you identify areas to connect to as you present new content.

Note that engaging in group discussions may be new to some participants. Lack of participation may not be related to interest in CO but to previous educational experiences that did not encourage participation. Jot down questions and comments that you may need to follow up with.

Modifications:

If participants seem reluctant to participate in group conversations, you can provide an option to reflect quietly on important ideas or questions.
If you have participants who can write in their home language, you can invite them to record their thinking. Provide materials for note- taking as needed.
To add some interaction, group people who speak the same home language and have people talk in small groups to share their thinking.

Диагностическое обследование, вакцинация и медицинские осмотры

Say: There was a lot of good information in the video. As you watched, you may have noticed some things that are similar to healthcare in your home country, and you have noticed some differences too. I want to emphasize a few points from the video. Here are some key things to remember about healthcare in the U.S.:

Seeing a doctor is important even if you are not sick. We will schedule or have scheduled a basic health screening and immunizations.
Immunization is the process of becoming resistant to certain diseases after getting a vaccine. A vaccine is a specific type of medicine to prevent disease or illness, often through a shot. Your children may be required to get immunizations and vaccines to go to school.
It is important that you attend the screening and any follow-up appointments. The doctor will give you records of your screening. Please keep these records in a safe place. These records will be needed when adjusting your immigration status.
In the first weeks of resettlement, only critical needs will be met. After you get established, people in the U.S. usually go to the doctor once a year for a check-up visit. At the check-up, the doctor will check your health and look for signs of illness. These visits can help prevent illnesses.

You can treat some illnesses at home.
You can make an appointment with your doctor.
If you need immediate care, you may have to go to an urgent care center.
In some cases, if there is a serious injury, you will need to go to the emergency room or call 911.

Say: For common and minor illnesses, care can be routine, not urgent.

Some illnesses can be treated at home, such as a mild headache or a small cut, by taking some medicine, using band-aids, using an icepack, or resting. (Point to the home image.)
If an illness goes on for a few days, you may want to contact a primary care doctor. For example, if your headache does not get better, or if the cut gets infected. You also go to the doctor if you have to get a blood test to see what is causing your illness. (Point to the doctor image.)

В экстренных случаях

Say: Some health services may be urgent; you need immediate care for something serious. These are things you can not treat at home, or you can’t wait to get an appointment with your primary care doctor.

Urgent Care Centers are available in some communities. These clinics are for situations where you have an illness or injury that needs immediate care but is not serious enough for a visit to the emergency room. For example, a fever, vomiting, stomach pain, or shortness of breath. Urgent care centers are often open at night and on the weekend. You do not need an appointment.
The emergency room can treat serious injuries, chest pain, head injury, eye injury, or bleeding that does not stop. If you can not get to the emergency room safely, you may need an ambulance – call 911. You do not need an appointment to go to the emergency room, but it is a busy place. You may have to wait a long time if your problem is not serious. Emergency room care is very expensive. If your problem is not an emergency, try urgent care or your doctor.
Those are some examples. What are some other examples of urgent medical needs? When should you go to urgent care? When should you go to the emergency room? (Pause to let participants think. Invite participants to share examples.)

Deciding where to go can be hard. To get you thinking about where to get care, we will do an activity together. (Transition to the next slide to set up the activity.)

Say: Let’s do an activity about where to get care.

In this activity, you will see pictures of different symptoms. (Show the cards.)Talk with a partner to decide where you should treat the illness: at home, at your primary care doctor, at an urgent care center, or in the emergency room.
Once you decide, take the cards and place them on the appropriate sheet of paper. (Show the cards and the different pages representing each place. Model the process by picking up a card, reading it aloud, and asking participants where they would go. Then model placing the card on the appropriate page).

I will pass out some materials for each group. (Facilitate forming groups as needed.) Talk with each other and decide what you might do in each case. This is to talk about where you might get care for an illness or injury– don’t worry about getting the “right answer.” Medical situations can be complicated. Do as many as you can. We will talk as a group when you are done.

(Pass out materials to each group– cards to sort and pages to place the cards on. Then provide a few minutes for participants to work and talk. Circulate around the room and answer questions. You can assess participants’ understanding by looking at their sort. After the groups are done, you can show possible answers using the next two slides.)

Notes: Prepare materials for this Where to Get Care sorting activity before the session.

Say: Let’s talk about routine care first. Each medical situation can be different. Here are some common injuries or illnesses that can be treated at home.

If you have a small cut, you can wash it and put a bandage on it, and it may heal.
A runny nose can often be treated with over-the-counter medicine.
Same with and insect bite. If the problem gets worse or does not go away after a few days, you may want to make an appointment with a primary care doctor.

When to see your doctor: you already know that you can see a doctor for check-ups, shots, and tests. You can also see a doctor when you have symptoms that won’t go away.

For example, if you have a headache, you can lie down or take an over-the-counter medicine. However, if the headache continues for a few days, contact your doctor. The doctor can examine you, run tests, and suggest follow-up care.
When it’s about your emotional well-being. Everyone can feel sad, but if you are very sad for a long time, you should contact your doctor. The doctor can talk with you, treat you, or refer you to someone who specializes in mental health.

Notes: To provide additional examples, share your own examples of how you treat illnesses at home and when you saw the doctor.

Say: Let’s talk about urgent needs and emergencies. Each medical situation can be different. Here is where you would usually go to get help for these urgent situations. When you or someone in your family has a bad rash or a high fever, you want to see a doctor and get treated soon, so the problem does not worsen. When your primary doctor is not available, urgent care is an option, especially at night or on the weekend when the doctor’s office is not open.

Emergency Rooms are for sudden and serious health problems. A bad head injury, pain in your chest, or broken bones are serious problems. They have to be treated right away, or there can be damage to your body. Go to an emergency room to get help. If you cannot get to the emergency room safely, you may need to call 911. Remember that emergency rooms are busy places, and you may have to wait a long time if your problem is not serious. Here are some situations where you may need to go to an emergency room. Look at the top row: falling and hitting your head hard, broken bones, and heart pain are reasons to go to the emergency room or call 911.

Emergency room care is very expensive. If your problem is not an emergency, you should make an appointment at a clinic or doctor’s office. What questions do you have about when you should go to an Urgent Care Center or the Emergency room?

Notes: To provide additional examples, share your own examples of times you have chosen urgent care or the ER.

Say: Each medical situation can be different. You have to decide how severe an illness is and then decide where to get care. For example, having a fever, a temporary rise in body temperature.

For most children and adults, having a fever can be uncomfortable, but it may not be serious. At home, you can rest and take medicine to lower the fever, and it goes away in a few days
However, if the fever lasts for a few days, you may want to call your primary care doctor. If there are other symptoms along with the fever like stomach pain or confusion, call the doctor
If the temperature is high, usually above 103 degrees for adults, 100.4 for babies; above 102 for children, you should seek urgent care. Also, get immediate medical care if there are other symptoms, like a rash, vomiting, or severe headache, get urgent care, or go to the emergency room, depending on how severe the symptoms are.

It’s important to know that there are a variety of healthcare services available in the U.S., and helpful to know where to seek care.

Say: Now, let’s get back to routine healthcare practices. If you need to see your primary care doctor, here is what is expected of a patient. (Point to the designated image as you describe the patient’s responsibilities before, during, and after a visit to the doctor.)

BEFORE:

When you need to see a primary care doctor, you must make an appointment.
You can request an interpreter when you call, and you can request that an interpreter be present during your visit.
If something comes up, and you know you can not make it to the doctor’s office at the appointment time, let them know. You need to call to cancel or reschedule. If you do not call to cancel your appointment 24 hours ahead of time, you may be charged for the appointment.

AT THE OFFICE: (Press Enter or click forward.)

Be on time on the day of the appointment. You may have to go early to complete medical care forms.
You will need to show the office staff your ID card and your insurance card.
The doctor will examine you and ask questions. Answer the doctor honestly and completely. They need the right information to decide on the best treatment.
Personal medical information that you share with the doctor is kept confidential. This means your doctor cannot share medical information with your family without your permission.
If a family member is interpreting for you and you’re uncomfortable sharing private medical information, ask your doctor to call an interpreter.
Sometimes the doctor will give you a prescription or refer you to another doctor. The doctor will advise you on how to treat your illness.

AFTER THE VISIT: (Press Enter or click forward.)

Follow the doctor’s advice.
Pick up medicine if needed.
Go to follow-up appointments.

Say: The doctor may give you a prescription for medicine to take to a pharmacy. A prescription is a note from the doctor ordering specific medicine that someone needs.

At the pharmacy, you give the pharmacist the prescription, your insurance card, and your ID. The pharmacist will prepare the prescription with the right medicine in the correct dose, and you pay for the medicine. The pharmacist can also provide information.

Sometimes the doctor tells you to purchase over-the-counter medicine. This is the kind of medicine that does not require a prescription. You can buy over-the-counter medicine at a drugstore or a pharmacy. The pharmacist can also help you with information about over-the-counter medicine.

Notes: N/A

Modifications: You can replace the image in this slide with images of local pharmacies.

Bring in real-world materials like a prescription, a typical prescription bottle with advice about dosage, and sample packaging of common over-the counter medicines.

Say: The U.S. does not have universal healthcare. Healthcare is expensive. People need to have medical insurance.

The U.S. government can pay for limited healthcare for newcomers for the first few months.
After that, an individual must seek insurance or pay for healthcare costs. Most people get insurance through work. The employer helps pay for insurance costs as a benefit for working. If someone in your family is over 65 years old or has a disability, they may be eligible for Medicare, government-sponsored health insurance after a period of time.
Even with insurance, you may have to pay some money. This is called a co-pay. Insurance will pay part of the cost and you will need to pay part of the cost. This cost is in addition to what you may pay monthly for your insurance.

Notes: This is a complicated topic. Participants may have questions or share specific problems. You may not have enough time to address all the questions or problems shared. Acknowledge participants’ concerns and invite them to contact their case manager or other agency staff to address their concerns.

Modifications: You can replace the image in this slide with images of actual insurance cards. Bring real-world materials like different insurance card samples and bills showing co-pay and deductible amounts.

CO Topic: Health and Hygiene

Objective(s)/Indicators(s):

Participants can explain that the U.S. has no universal health care system and refugee medical assistance (RMA) differs state by state. RMA is available for a limited time.

Participants can identify that health care in the U.S. is very expensive and that the government will only pay limited healthcare for refugees for a limited period of time in the U.S. After that, it is the individual’s responsibility to obtain insurance or pay for services
Participants can identify that long-term health insurance is generally tied to employment
Participants can name two reasons they may be responsible for paying for their own healthcare after a period of time (e.g., not eligible for Medicaid, not receiving health insurance as a benefit of their job)
Participants can identify who may be eligible for government health insurance (Medicare) after a period of time (e.g., persons 65 or older, those with disabilities)
Participants can list, even if they have health insurance, at least two ways they may still be responsible for contributing to the cost of healthcare (e.g., co-pays, reaching deductible limits)

Say: I just shared a lot of information about seeking healthcare in this community. Let’s pause for reflection and questions. What is important to remember? What questions do you have? (Pause to let participants think. Allot 5-7 minutes for the group discussion.)

Notes:

Healthcare can be a dense and complicated topic. If there is time, you can facilitate a question-and-answer session about the process of seeking and paying for care before transitioning to hygiene and mental health.
If participants ask questions that are unique to their situations, ask them to follow up with their case manager or refer them to the appropriate staff member.
If participants have many questions about the topic that you cannot answer at the moment, record questions on the Planning for Participants’ Questions Tool and follow up after the session.

Say: Americans are encouraged to practice preventative health. This means taking care of your body and mind to prevent illness. Let’s look at some examples of preventative health practices. (As you talk about each image, press Enter or click forward to get the next image to appear.)

Americans believe that to stay healthy, you should have proper nutrition from food from a variety of food groups, bread, , fruits, vegetables, and meat or other protein sources. You should also have plenty of water.
To stay healthy, Americans try to get adequate sleep, and exercise.
Proper hygiene is also important for health and success. Hygiene is any practice or activity that you do to keep yourself and your surroundings healthy and clean. We will spend a little more time on hygiene and healthy habits to prevent illness.
Americans believe that you should pay attention to your emotional well-being as well as your physical well-being. This is called mental health. Mental health relates to how people feel, handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Our mental health can change over time. When there is a concern about your social or emotional well-being, you can seek mental health services. We can connect you to the appropriate providers and resources.

What are the norms about healthy habits and good hygiene in your home country? (Give participants a moment to think and then ask for a few volunteers.)

(After a few minutes of people sharing their thinking) Thank you for sharing your experience. As we spend a little more time on American concepts of health and hygiene, think about what is similar to your past experiences and what is new.

Notes:

This slide is animated. When you press Enter or click forward, each image will appear.

Say: The Settle In lesson you watched showed some ways good hygiene and preventative health are practiced in the United States. Let’s take a moment to think and share with each other about what you learned. Here are some questions to guide your conversation. With your partner or small group, talk about how hygiene in the U.S. is similar to or different from what you experienced in your home country. (As needed, facilitate forming groups so that people can have partners who speak the same language.)

(After a few minutes of groups talking to each other, you can invite 2 or 3 comments.) Let’s hear from a few people. What is similar or what is different? What questions might you have.

(After 5-8 minutes of a group discussion) Thank you for sharing your ideas. Some U.S. hygiene practices may be similar to practices in your home country, and some may be different. Following U.S. hygiene norms is important for your health and your relationships. Not following U.S. hygiene norms can affect relationships with co-workers, neighbors, students in school, and other people in the community.

Notes: Engaging in group conversations provides participants with an opportunity to reflect and share. The activity is repeated in this session and will be part of all the sessions. The ideas and questions that arise in the conversations can provide feedback to you about what is most important or confusing to participants.

Recognize that engaging in small-group and whole-group discussions may be new to some participants. Lack of participation may not be related to interest in CO but to previous educational experiences that did not encourage participation.
If a participant has questions specific to a personal context, acknowledge the value of the question and encourage them to contact their case manager or the appropriate RA staff member for assistance.
If participants have many questions about the topic that you cannot answer at the moment, record questions on the Planning for Participants’ Questions Tool and follow up after the session.

Say: We will do an activity to review what you learned and talked about in this session. I will make a few statements, one at a time.

If you think the statement is true, indicate yes by shaking your head, up and down for yes. (Model head movement while saying yes.)
Shake your head left to right for no. (Model head movement while saying no.)
This activity is to help you think about what you learned, and it helps me know what needs to be clarified. It does not matter if you are correct or not. Have fun with it.

Notes: Make this activity light and fun. The participants’ responses can give you information about what is clear, and what is not.

There are 3 questions in this review game. The question appears on a slide and the answer is revealed on the next slide. As you reveal answers, provide additional information as needed.

Modifications:

You can have people quickly talk with a partner about what they think the answer is before you reveal the answer.
Use other movements to indicate yes or no if you want, like thumbs up/down, raising the left hand for yes/the right hand for no, standing up/ sitting down, etc.

Сообщение о совершении преступления

Say: There are different ways to report a crime. You can call 911 for immediate emergencies. In some situations, it may not be safe to call 911 right away. You can call to make a report when you are safe. Many public safety departments have a non-emergency number. This number can be used for any general calls related to the police that don’t pertain to a life-threatening emergency.

Notes: These are general notes. You may want to confirm with local law enforcement about their procedures. As appropriate, share the local police department’s non-emergency phone number or website.

Modifications: N/A.

CO Topic: Safety

Objective(s)/Indicator(s):

Participants can explain that paying attention to personal safety is an important consideration for all people

Роль полиции

Say:

The police play many important roles in safety. The police are there to help keep communities safe. They enforce the law, investigate crime, help maintain safety during an accident, and assist people.
You may interact with different police departments; our city (or county) has a police department. The state also has a police department.
The police have uniforms and/or wear badges.
If you need help communicating with a police officer, you can ask for an interpreter.
Police officers have to follow the law too. They have to treat people fairly when they interact with community members. We will talk about ways to interact with the police safely.

Notes:

This may be a sensitive topic for some participants. Be sure to create a safe space for participants to ask questions as needed.
It may be helpful to add a slide with images to show the uniforms and vehicles of local and state police departments.

Modifications: N/A

Что нам известно сейчас

О чем важно помнить?

Say: Earlier, we talked about what you already know about safety. Before we move to our next topic, let’s take a moment to reflect. Pick one thing that you think is most important to remember about safety. (Give participants a moment to think.)

Who would like to share? (Ask for a few volunteers to share what they think is most important.)

(After a few minutes of people sharing their thinking) Thank you for sharing your ideas. Safety is important, and I hope that you learned more about ways to keep yourself and your family safe.

Notes: Inviting participants to reflect on their learning serves multiple purposes. It conveys that their thinking is valued. It also allows you to assess. Listen for misconceptions. Jot down questions and comments that you may need to follow up with.

Modifications:

If participants seem reluctant to participate in group conversations, you can provide an option to reflect quietly on important ideas or questions.
If you have participants who can write in their home language, you can invite them to record their thinking. Provide materials for note-taking as needed.
To add some interaction, group people who speak the same home language and have people talk in small groups to share their thinking.

Все проживающие в _____[Type the name of your City]

Say: There are three types of laws in the United States:

Federal laws, such as the laws against discrimination, apply to every person living in the United States.
State laws vary by state. For example, in some states, you can get a driver’s license at age 16, but in other states, you must be 18.
Local laws apply in a particular city or county. For example, there are local laws about where you can park or laws about littering.

It is your responsibility to know and follow all three types of laws.

As part of the resettlement process, you will learn about some of the laws that affect everyday life. You can also learn more about the law from some state or local agencies that you work with, like the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the school system, health department. Many have websites or information call lines.

Notes: Replace the orange text on the slide with the name of your state and community. Note that the arrows and labels are animated.

Say: Let’s review what you learned so far. You will see some images with labels. Each one represents a right or law. As you look at each image, what do you think it shows about U.S. Laws? (Show one image at a time and ask participants to share about what right or responsibility the image suggests if they are comfortable. Offer the explanations below as needed. Press Enter or click forward to get the next image to appear)

Explanations:

Everyone has civil rights. For example, you have freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
Everyone has legal rights. If you are accused of breaking the law, you have a right to remain silent, a right to an interpreter, a government-assigned lawyer, and a right to a trial.
Licenses are permission granted to do certain things. For example, you need a license to drive a car. You may also need a license to fish or hunt.
It is illegal to harm or injure another person, including someone in your family. Harm can include physical harm. It can include harassment -- unwelcome behaviors that threaten, offend, or intimidate someone. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome advances, gestures, and messages of a sexual nature.

Notes:

All these images appeared in the U.S. Laws videos. This is a chance to elaborate on them.

In many public spaces, like a school, a park, or a library, some items are not allowed. It is common to have laws saying no smoking, no drinking, and no guns. There are expectations that some behaviors are done in private places, like urinating and family arguments.

Some community places, like stores or hospitals, may have similar rules.

Законы, касающиеся семейной жизни

Say: There are also laws about behavior in private places, like your home. In the United States, there are legal rights and responsibilities related to family life.

It is illegal to harm or injure another person, including people in your family. When someone hits or hurts a family member, it is called domestic violence. There are laws against that.
When disciplining children, Americans have rules and norms that may be different from those in your home country.
Most Americans believe that it is wrong to discipline children by hitting or hurting them. It is against the law for a parent to injure a child on purpose.
American parents usually use other consequences to teach their children how to behave.

They take away something for a period of time, like a toy or privileges, such as playing with friends or watching television.
They use time-out. This is where a child is removed from where they misbehave for a specific amount of time. For example, if two children are fighting in the living room while playing, the parents would have them stop playing and sit alone for 10 minutes.

In the U.S., there are also rules about supervising children. (Transition to the next slide).

Notes:

Provide information about local laws as appropriate or invite participants to talk to their case managers.
This topic can be sensitive or of high interest to participants. Participants may need a more individualized follow-up session with their case manager, the appropriate RA staff member, or a community organization.
As needed, follow up with participants to share local resources for help with domestic violence or information about the National Domestic Violence Hotline at https://www.thehotline.org/

Присмотр за детьми

Say: In the United States, children need to be supervised by adults at all times until they are considered old enough by law. The age that is considered “old enough” differs in different locations. Not supervising a child properly is considered neglect, and it is illegal. For example, parents are not allowed to leave a young child at home alone while they are going to the store. Parents would need to get someone to watch the child or have the child come to the store with them.

All parents care about taking care of their children, no matter where they live. The approaches and rules that are used in the U.S. may be different than what you experienced. If you need support learning and adjusting to these different approaches, talk with your case manager about resources.

(This is an optional slide to use if you want to address specific child supervision policies in your community. This slide is hidden in Slide Show mode. Unhide the slide if you want participants to see it. See instructions on slide 2 for how to unhide a slide.)

Say: When deciding whether to leave a child home alone, you will want to consider your child’s physical, mental, and emotional readiness and state laws and policies. Child supervision guidance differs from state to state. Here are the expectations in our community. When you are leaving your child alone, even for a short amount of time, talk to them about ways to stay safe. For example, keeping the doors locked, who to call if they need help, no use or safe use of kitchen appliances like the stove, etc.

Notes: Use this slide as a template to add specific local information about child supervision expectations in your community.

Обсуждение в группе:

В чем сходство? Обсуждение в отличие?

Say: Let’s take some time to talk about what you heard about U.S. laws. Here are questions to guide your conversation. With your partner or small group, talk about how these U.S. laws may be similar to or different from what you experienced in your home country. (As needed, facilitate forming groups so that people can have partners who speak the same language.)

(After a few minutes of groups talking to each other, you can invite 2 or 3 comments.) Let’s hear from a few people. What U.S. Laws are similar to what you experienced? What might be different?

(After 5-8 minutes of a whole-group discussion), Thank you for sharing your ideas. It’s good to recognize similarities. When there are differences, it takes time and effort to adjust.

Notes: Engaging in group conversations provides participants with an opportunity to reflect and share. The activity is repeated in this session and will be part of all the sessions. The ideas and questions that arise in the conversations can provide feedback to you about what is most important or confusing to participants.

Recognize that engaging in small-group and whole-group discussions may be new to some participants. Lack of participation may not be related to interest in CO but to previous educational experiences that did not encourage participation.
If a participant has questions specific to a personal context, acknowledge their concern and encourage them to contact their caseworker or the appropriate RA staff member for assistance.
If participants have many questions about the topic that you cannot answer at the moment, record questions on the Planning for Participants’ Questions Tool and follow up after the session.

Modifications:

If participants seem reluctant to participate in group conversations, you can provide an option to reflect quietly on similarities and differences for a few minutes.
If participants can write in their home language or English, you can invite them to write ideas or questions down. Provide materials for note taking as needed.

CO Topic: Cultural Adjustment

Objective/Indicator(s)
