The Intersection between Mental Health and Legal Status

  • The Bicycle Factory 201 Front Avenue Southwest Grand Rapids, MI, 49504 United States (map)

Course Description:

The current undocumented immigrant (UI) population in the United States is approximately 22.1 million. The majority of these individuals experience higher levels of stress related to having a lack of immigration status, limited family and social support, inadequate housing conditions, racism, discrimination, and unresolved trauma. Not knowing how to assist a client from the UI community with their stress and social issues can have detrimental consequences such as high incidences of depression and anxiety and isolation.
