Lecture

Psychology Workshop: Evidence Based Care For Refugee, Asylee, And Immigrant Patients

Join us for our 2021 Psychology Workshop Series at Sheppard Pratt

Evidence-Based Care For Refugee, Asylee, And Immigrant Patients

Presented by: Rachel Singer, PhD

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.

After this lecture the learner will be able to:

  1. Identify potential challenges when working with immigrant, refugee, and asylee patients.
  2. Conceptualize patients using a multicultural framework.
  3. Design and implement clinical interventions for this population.
