Summary
The overall goal of this overall goal is to pilot an adaptation of an established Social-Emotional Learning Program with novel wellness and COVID-19 safety components that are trauma-informed and culturally-specific in a resettled refugee community. In this pilot, "EMPOWER" (Emotions Program Outside the clinic and Wellness Education for Refugees), the study team will assess implementation outcomes (adoption, acceptability, and feasibility) of EMPOWER with refugee children and families during the COVID-19 pandemic through longitudinal evaluations and measurements of feasibility, acceptability, and attrition. The study team will also evaluate the impact of EMPOWER by assessing (a) children's social-emotional learning competence and (b) children's and family's COVID-19 knowledge.
