The Northwest Conference on Resettlement (previously the Idaho Conference on Refugees) is an annual, nationally respected conference that has been organized by the Idaho Office for Refugees for over 15 years. The conference is geared toward resettlement workers, teachers, medical and health care professionals, nonprofit service providers, volunteers, advocates, and community members. We welcome hundreds of attendees each year who come to learn skills and best practices in working with people from refugee and immigrant backgrounds – from language access, to cultural humility and competence, to creative and culturally appropriate ways to work with students, patients, and clients who have experienced trauma and displacement. Attendees, presenters, and workshop leaders from refugee backgrounds provide firsthand perspectives and collaborative ideas for solutions. ​ Our theme this year is Conscious Compassionate Community. As political uncertainty, violent conflict, and anti-immigrant sentiment regains footholds close to home and around the world, bringing people together to work toward peace and dignified treatment of all is vital work for the health and well-being of society.
