Course overview

Screening and assessment tools Trauma interventions from Narrative Therapy, TF-CBT and more Best practices for informed consent, confidentiality, and legal status concerns Case studies that help you apply the skills to real-life clinical scenarios The immigration experience can be deeply traumatizing. Separation from loved ones, leaving homes they love, enduring dangerous travel, and navigating systems that can feel cold or hostile. And the trauma doesn't end when they arrive. Many immigrants, refugees, and displaced families still live in a world that feels unsafe - some carrying the constant fear of deportation ... ... others feeling like even after years of living here they don't belong, are unwelcome, or are marginalized. These clients need treatment that sees the hidden scars of immigration, validates their experiences, and knows how to reach and heal the root of their trauma. But if you're like most therapists you probably never received any kind of training on working with this population. That's why we created this comprehensive one-day training with Dr. Shama Panjwani. A clinician and researcher specializing in working with marginalized communities, who herself immigrated to the US at the age of nine, Dr. Panjwani will give you a complete roadmap to understand, assess, and treat these clients with skill and confidence. You'll walk away ready to: Identify hidden, multi-layered trauma in culturally sensitive ways Build trust with clients who feel unsafe in the world around them Support individuals and families through grief, loss, and disrupted identity Apply evidence-based interventions that foster resilience, empowerment, and healing Case studies that help you apply the skills to real-life clinical scenarios The need for therapists ready to work with this population has never been greater ... ... and this training is your chance to be the clinician these clients desperately need.
