"Join the Society of Refugee Healthcare Providers and Dr. Mary Bunn, PhD, LCSW for a Q&A session about refugee and newcomer mental health!
*Spaces are limited. Preference will be given to non-clinician service providers (for example, case managers, community partners) working with Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) eligible populations. Register below and you will receive a confirmation email if there is space available.
Mary Bunn, PhD, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker and Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Department of Psychiatry. She is also Core Faculty and Co-Director of the Global Mental Health Research and Training Program in the UIC Center for Global Health and runs a therapy clinic for refugees and asylum seekers at the UI Health.
Informed by more than twenty year of licensed clinical practice experience delivering therapy services and developing mental health programs domestically and globally, her research focuses on the development and testing of community-based mental health prevention and care interventions for survivors of war and political violence across the migration continuum. This involves using implementation science and human centered design practices to develop and test a spectrum of services that improve mental health and strengthen families and social systems of care and connection. She is particularly interested in peer service models, family and group-based interventions and examining relational processes and factors in interventions.
This session will be an informal, discussion format. There will be no slides or presentation, but an opportunity for participants to ask Dr. Bunn any questions they have about mental health and newcomers. Please submit your questions ahead of time through the registration form or by emailing sarah@refugeesociety.org."
