Beyond the Evaluation:
The Critical Role of Cultural Competence in Supporting Immigrant Clients
Joset Rosado, LISW-CP
​Time: 6:30P-8:00P
Location: Virtual
CEUs: 1.5
Immigration evaluations are not just clinical assessments—they are narratives that hold the power to impact legal decisions and change lives. However, without a deep understanding of cultural identity, trauma, and systemic barriers, even well-intentioned evaluations can fail to capture the full weight of an immigrant's experience. This 90-minute interactive training will explore how mental health professionals can integrate cultural competence, humility, and advocacy into their evaluation process to ensure assessments are clinically sound, ethically responsible, and reflective of the client’s lived reality. Through real-world case studies, discussion, and hands-on application, attendees will learn actionable strategies to enhance their evaluations while strengthening their role as advocates in social justice.
Objectives:
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Recognize the Cultural and Emotional Complexities of the Immigrant Experience
2. Understand the Intersection of Trauma and Cultural Identity in Immigration Evaluations
3. Develop Culturally Responsive and Trauma-Informed Evaluation Practices
4. Advocate for Immigrant Clients Through Ethical and Socially Just Evaluations
