The clinical portion of this five part series on immigration will focus on developing the clinician’s personal inventory to self-awareness of the power we have in the therapeutic relationship and how it could influence the dynamic. Through different activities in this webinar, we will explore the presence of potential biases through self-awareness of our own privilege and ways to work with them in sessions to avoid microaggressions. We will present different clinical tools that include evidence-based practices through case examples to develop an in-depth understanding of the application of instruments with respect to varying educational, socioeconomic, and cultural elements that influence the undocumented and immigrant’s ability to engage.
