Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR)

Annual Report to Congress - 1999


FY 1999 National Conference

Refugee services programs traditionally target employable adults in an effort to ensure early self-sufficiency for families and individuals. However, we have had a growing awareness of the trauma suffered by refugee children and youth from their experiences as refugees, and from their adjustment experiences during resettlement. ORR'S 1999 national conference held November 15-17 in Washington, D.C., was attended by 1,600 participants. We had double the number that participated in the 1998 conference because the theme for this year's conference was "Resettlement Through the Eyes of a Refugee Child."

The assumption had been that when you help the parents, the children are flexible and adjust naturally and easily. Our youthful presenters challenged this notion.

One of the most dynamic aspects of the conference came from the refugee children and teenagers in attendance, many of whom were panelists and speakers sharing their perspectives on what it is like to be refugee. They opened the eyes of many conference participants by demonstrating their maturity, and the articulate descriptions of jarring differences in cultural values and life experiences, compared with American peers. It was an enlightening experience for the many refugee case managers who work with entire families, but focus mainly on employable adults.

We were very pleased to have Secretary Donna Shalala as our keynote speaker, and Maria Echaveste, Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff, as speaker at our closing session.

The conference also addressed various interests of refugee service providers through a broad range of eight different workshop tracks, each one composed of three to seven workshops. The tracks addressed subjects such as: services for children in the mainstream community,
