Minnesota Training

Healing in Partnership (HIP) is a research, healing and training project focused on the St. Paul communities of the Karen from Burma, the Bhutanese, the Oromo from Ethiopia and the Somalis.

Healing in Partnership is:

  • Developing and implementing an easy-to-use mental health screening tool adapted for the refugee groups.
  • Indentifying refugees who might be suffering from untreated trauma and referring individuals for further mental health care.
  • Developing psychoeducation groups to help refugees understand the effects of war stress, loss, grief and the healing process, and to help them adjust to life in a new community.
  • Training refugee leaders on ways to promote healing in their communities.
  • Sharing project knowledge with mainstream clinics, mental health providers and refugee programs.

Healing in Partnership is funded by the Huss Foundation, Asian Pacific Endowment, a fund of the Minneapolis Foundation and The Saint Paul Foundation, The Saint Paul Foundation, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation, and the Medica Foundation
