Everything you need to know to conduct thorough psychological evaluations and write compelling reports!

Why It’s Important

Immigration laws place the burden of proof on the applicant or beneficiary to show psychological distress. A well-written report of a psychological assessment performed by a mental health professional can be extremely helpful in some of these immigration cases.

These types of reports are very specific in terms of the points they need to address. This training will prepare you to be able to conduct a thorough evaluation and present the findings in a comprehensive and unbiased report.

Why Do You Need This Training?

Immigration evaluations are very different from any other type of evaluations, such as forensic, educational, or diagnostic assessments. In most immigration proceedings, the burden of proof lies on the applicant or beneficiary to show emotional distress, and a psychological evaluation can be very helpful in these cases.

It is important, however, that the evaluator be well-trained and able to answer the psycho-legal question at hand in an unambiguous, neutral, and ethically sound manner. Just speaking the client's native language does not qualify a mental health professional to conduct this type of evaluations.

Immigration law is extremely complex, and you need to have a basic understanding of the legal background of the cases for which you wish to do a psychological evaluation. Practicing outside your scope of practice is not only unethical, but also a great disservice to those who are seeking professional help.
