This training examines the complex lives of immigrant women in our communities and how to support them as they integrate into the fabric of American life. The training also discusses managing a culturally and religiously diverse group from a Christian perspective, parenting and marital values in other cultures and the use of a culturalgram as an assessment tool. The lives of diverse women will be introduced through case scenarios and a model of a program offering parenting and family support as well as a resource lending library will be shared.
