Virtual training: "Supporting Forced Migrant Survivors through the Asylum Process"
Please join us for the Intercultural Counseling Connection clinical training workshop “Supporting Forced Migrant Survivors through the Asylum Process.”
Friday, June 7, 2024, 9:15 a.m. – 12:45 p.m.
Live Conference via Zoom
Workshop Description:
The complex legal process of seeking asylum in the U.S impacts survivors of severe pre-migration harm in profound and multiple ways. In addition to processing complex trauma and grief, most asylum seekers await lengthy legal processes, face financial and cultural barriers adapting to the U.S., and experience long separation from family members. This training provides clinicians detailed information on current asylum processes and associated psychological stressors faced by forced migrant clients, and strengthens therapeutic competencies in supporting survivors throughout the experience.
Facilitators:
Maureen Sweeney, JD – Director, Chacon Center for Immigrant Justice, University of Maryland Carey School of Law
