About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Project is: (1) To train volunteer licensed mental health clinicians to conduct evaluations of asylum seekers and to serve as expert witnesses; and (2) Link immigration attorneys and community agencies who are seeking pro bono evaluations of asylum seekers with our trained network of volunteer clinicians.
About
The Bay Area Asylum Mental Health Project of RIWW links San Francisco Bay Area immigration attorneys with licensed mental health clinicians who can provide psychological evaluations for asylum seekers. The Project has over 100 clinicians in the Bay Area who provide pro bono or low fee evaluations for asylum seekers. Research Institute Without Walls (RIWW) was originally founded to provide training and research on the mental health needs of persons who face persecution based on sexual orientation and gender identity. In response to the increased need for mental health clinicians who are trained to evaluate asylum seekers, RIWW has expanded its mission to provide training and mentoring on the mental health challenges of all asylum seekers. RIWW also provides training to attorneys on working in a trauma-informed way with traumatized clients and information on how to manage secondary trauma.
