Diversity Panel: Supporting Our Immigrant Clients in Times of ICE

Diversity Panel: Supporting Our Immigrant Clients in Times of ICE

This panel brings together clinicians and community advocates to explore how we can best support our undocumented and immigrant clients at this time of great peril and uncertainty. Many of our clients, loved ones, and community members are facing the constant threat, or the devastating reality, of an apprehension by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Many, too, are coping with immense loss, grief, and trauma, persistent terror and anxiety, alongside racially discriminative narratives. Our panelists will be sharing their lived experiences, tools, and perspectives through a culturally-responsive, liberation-focused lens. This discussion is intended to help mental health professionals respond with compassion, resilience, and culturally-sensitive care — both inside and out of the therapy room. Please note that there will be time for questions, and that this event will not be recorded given the need for safety and sensitivity around this topic.
