Training and mentoring mental health clinicians. The Project provides training, mentoring, and support to mental health professionals so that they can provide high quality mental health evaluations for asylum seekers.
We offer mentoring by connecting mental health professionals who are experienced in providing evaluations with those who have been recently trained. We facilitate the referral process between attorneys seeking evaluations and available mental health professionals.
If you are a mental health professional and would like to attend a training in the Bay Area and join our Project please click on this link, and complete the application form. The next online training will take place in early 2025. We will email information about the upcoming training to all clinicians who have applied to join the Project.
Training immigration attorneys and law students in trauma informed practice. Immigration attorneys and law students who work with asylum seekers are often challenged when working with traumatized individuals. Our training helps immigration attorneys and law students use best practices in interviewing asylum seekers with a history of traumatic events. It also helps attorneys and law students manage secondary trauma that may impact them directly.
