The next Intercultural Counseling Connection clinical training workshop, presented with Inspirit Counseling Services, will be Supporting Forced Migrant Survivors through the Asylum Process.

This session will be held on Friday, June 7th, 2024, 9:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. via live Zoom conference, and facilitated by Caitlin Tromiczak, LICSW-C, LCSWC and Maureen Sweeney, JD.

CEUs will be available for eligible clinicians.

As with all Intercultural Counseling Connection trainings, active Connection pro bono providers will attend for free. The training will be open to non-Connection clinicians for a modest registration and CEU fee of $50.00.

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.

Watch this space for updates and registration info in the coming month, or contact [email protected] to be added to the Connection’s email list.

Thank you for your interest in supporting the needs of forced migrant survivors in Maryland.
