When clinicians work with immigrant clients, it's important to be aware of the deep feelings of otherness and loss they experience--loss of family networks, usable skills, language, and sense of belonging. In this workshop, we'll deepen the understanding of the multigenerational trauma inherent in the immigration journey. We'll focus on concrete assessment procedures for immigrant clients that highlight their migration experience, losses, and pain, as well as gains and tradeoffs. We'll explore ways to venture out of our comfort zones to connect with people who may feel deeply unfamiliar to us, and use movie clips of the immigrant experience to help us understand our own sense of "otherness." You'll come away with methods for helping clients reclaim their voices and create space for the experience of both loss and gain within themselves and their families.
