Sixth National Conference on Quality Health Care for Culturally Diverse Populations:

Many members of new populations to the United States have fled oppression, war, conflicts, and chaos. The events of state-sponsored violence strategically destroy communities by creating climates of fear and by breaking the bonds of solidarity among people. Interventions that help Liberian war refugees in Minnesota regain leadership and strength provide the means for this community to again offer support, meaningful structure, and the capacity to encourage recovery for its members.
