Developing Psychotherapy Strategies to Foster Resilience and Prevent Trauma Among Immigrant Communities

In the second session of this live webinar series, the presenters discuss a set of psychotherapy strategies for working with immigrant communities, particularly Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, in the context of changing immigration policy and the COVID-19 pandemic. Strategies include trauma-informed care, multicultural and social justice competencies, and strength-based coping skills. The webinar includes a panel of DACA recipients and providers who provide their important perspectives.
