What This Directory Is — and Who It’s For

Trusted Resources. Clear Language. Healthier Outcomes.

This directory is built for professionals who support refugee, immigrant, and asylum-seeking families with health-related needs. Every resource here is created by an organization to be language-accessible.

Refugee children receiving food

Across the resettlement countries, providers working with displaced families face a common barrier: finding accurate, translated health materials they can trust. This directory exists to solve that problem—one handout, video, and fact sheet at a time.

You’ll find multilingual content from resettlement experts, public health departments, and refugee-focused  health organizations. Each resource has been shared from a reputable, trusted organization known to focus on clarity, accuracy, and accessibility — so you can focus on care, not Googling.

Each organization’s translation and cultural validation review process may vary. If there’s a resource included that you think shouldn’t be, please let us know.

Whether you’re a pediatrician, health educator, intensive case manager, or ESL instructor, this library helps you guide newcomers through everything from well-child visits and vaccine schedules to home safety and emotional wellness.

Most resources are available in formats that work across settings: mobile-friendly videos, downloadable PDFs, printable flyers, and plain-language guides.

As we grow, this directory will continue to expand—language by language, topic by topic—toward a single goal: making it easier to connect every family with the care and information they deserve.

Languages We Support

Explore health education materials in over a dozen languages—curated from reputable organizations for easy sharing.
