An immigration evaluation refers to a mental health evaluation provided for an immigration case. By documenting trauma and mood symptoms, therapists can provide crucial evidence for legal cases. An evaluation is often the deciding factor in protecting asylum seekers and immigrant families.
Clients who need these evaluations come from all walks of life, and balancing pro bono work and full-fee work can be an amazing way to create a sustainable practice. With just a few assessments a month, many therapists increase monthly income by $3,000+.
And the best part is – you already have the clinical skills! You know how to assess mental health symptoms, and all you need is training to adapt your skills to this unique context.
