Psychology Workshop: Evidence Based Care for Refugee, Asylee, and Immigrant Patients
Program Description
Individuals may immigrate for a variety of reasons, such as striving to gain access to work or educational opportunities, reunifying with families, or seeking refuge from unsafe circumstances. Mental health symptoms may develop as a result of the individual’s initial reasons for fleeing their country of origin but may also be amplified by the very process of seeking safe haven in a new country. The training will describe factors that may impact the mental health of these persons. Participants will engage in interactive discussion, case conceptualization, and creating an action plan for incorporating multiculturally competent interventions into their clinical work.
This presentation meets the requirements of the topic of cultural and individual diversity.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
After this lecture the learner will be able to:
- Identify potential challenges when working with immigrant, refugee, and asylee patients.
- Conceptualize patients using a multicultural framework.
- Design and implement clinical interventions for this population.
