Trauma-Informed Care When Serving Asylum Seekers

SPEAKER 

Kate Sugarman, MD 

RSVP HERE to join us at our session on 2/15/21. Our sessions are free to join/view, and CME and Nursing CEU can be provided with additional cost. 

About the Session: As physicians and physicians in training, our work with asylum seekers can promote their healing while also help them successfully navigate the immigration system. By definition, asylum seekers have endured unspeakable traumas, both in their countries of origin, and then in their journey to the US and again once in the US, perhaps in ICE jails and then through a very adversarial immigration system. I have learned over the years how to be part of the healing process during this very difficult time in their lives.
