This course aims to provide behavioral health professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively address the mental health needs of migrant and refugee populations in the United States. Participants will explore the unique challenges and stressors encountered by these groups, including trauma, displacement, acculturation, and systemic barriers to care. Emphasis will be placed on culturally informed, trauma-sensitive approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the course will explore the legal, social, and policy implications impacting migrant and refugee communities as well as outline strategies for patient advocacy. Participants will also be able to gain practical skills while reflecting on personal biases and assumptions to foster more inclusive care and improve patient outcomes.
