There are thousands of people right now that have been exposed to hellish environments of terror and abuse hoping to find safety in America.
A 16-year-old fleeing violence and separated from his family. A woman whose family has declared an ‘honor killing.’ Families fleeing political, racial or religious violence and terrorism. The survivors of human trafficking.
In most cases the authorities and native governments will not, or cannot, protect these individuals.
But you can.
As a mental health clinician, you can be the difference between safety and being returned to life threatening situations.
I’m Marc Sadoff, LCSW. I’ve been doing psychological evaluations for clients in immigration court for decades. It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had as a therapist.
And in my comprehensive training I’ll show you everything you need to start doing psychological assessments with immigrant teens and adults facing deportation. You’ll end this program ready to handle many of the most common cases you’ll see including asylum, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and T & U cases of trafficking.
We’ll cover it all from how to conduct interviews, write the reports, and confidently testify in court.
And, if you’re anxious about testifying, don’t worry. There are many types of cases you can take that DO NOT REQUIRE you to testify!
I’ll even show you how you can build relationships with attorneys in your area that make it simple to market your new services.
Other trainings on immigration evaluations are asking up to $1800…but you can join me, and start doing this work right away, for a fraction of the cost. And with videos that provide you a real sense of what to do in the interview room, a complete set of templates and forms, and access to ongoing consultation sessions, this program is every bit as comprehensive.
So don’t wait. This is your chance to expand your expertise, clinical practice and revenue base…maybe even preserve a life.
