SUMMARY:Reading Refuge Book Club: Dr. Wendy Pearlman
DESCRIPTION:Building Peaceful Bridges (BPB) is excited to welcome Dr. Wendy Pearlman at our next book club meeting on Wednesday\, October 12\, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. CST. Dr. Pearlman will lead our discussion about her book\, We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria\, which was long-listed for the Carnegie Medal. \nThe Syrian crisis has mostly disappeared from the news as the world’s attention is drawn to new crises and conflicts. However\, there are 670\,000 registered Syrian refugees in Jordan; 80\,000 are housed in the Zaatari Refugee Camp\, the third largest in the world. Unemployment\, aging homes\, services and UNHCR funding have been cut\, with Syrian refugees “falling back into a dependency on humanitarian assistance for people that tried to stand on their own two feet.” * \nWendy Pearlman is Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University\, where she also holds the Charles Deering McCormick Professorship of Teaching Excellence.We Crossed A Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria (2017)\, >Violence\, Nonviolence\, and the Palestinian National Movement (2011) Occupied Voices: Stories of Everyday Life from the Second Intifada (2003)\, and Triadic Coercion: Israel’s Targeting of States that Host Nonstate Actors (co-authored with Boaz Atzili\, 2018). Her current book project is tentatively titled Home is the Details: Narratives from the New Syrian Diaspora. \n*Read more about the Syrian crisis here.  \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Learning Luncheon - Addressing Trauma in Newcomer Children
DESCRIPTION:Addressing Trauma in Newcomer Children\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Children who have escaped traumatic situations such as war\, government collapse\, famine\, and persecution are at heightened risk for emotional instability. Amy Hill\, LCSW\, will address the cause and effect of traumatic events on refugee and asylum-seeking youth. Many of our BPB families and other newcomers experience PTSD in their resettlement journey.  \nAmy Hill\, LCSW\, has worked with refugee and asylum-seeking youth and families for over 15 years. In her 11 years with the youth program at RefugeeOne\, a Chicago-based refugee resettlement agency\, Ms. Hill grew the program to provide wrap-around academic\, social-emotional\, and mental health services for refugee children of all ages\, as well as support for their caregivers navigating a new parenting landscape. She currently serves as the Program Manager for the Kovler Center Child Trauma Program\, a program of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN)\, where she oversees all clinical\, case management\, and psycho-social support services for refugee and asylum-seeking youth and their families. Additionally\, Ms. Hill has served on the Board of Directors for CircEsteem and the Chicago Burmese Community Association\, and has volunteered abroad working with youth and refugees in Kenya\, Guatemala\, and Israel. She has a Masters degree in Child Development from the Erikson Institute and a Masters of Social Work from Loyola University.
