The Study of Adolescent Lives after Migration to America (SALaMA) is hosting a convening as part of the CIES Regional Conference on October 27th-29th, 2023 in Monterey, California. This conference will be both a culmination of the five-year long SALaMA project, as well as a space to share the current state of knowledge, evidence-based best practice, and remaining knowledge gaps to inform future work. SALaMA will be hosting several events throughout the regional CIES conference focused on efforts to support adolescents from Arab-majority countries.
