Research indicates that immigrants and refugees experience disproportionately high rates of anxiety, depression, substance use, and other stress-related disorders. Immigrants and refugees also face a multitude of barriers to therapeutic services, including lack of culturally appropriate treatment and limited access to interpretation services.

During this workshop, Josh Hinson MSW, LCSW will focus on the immigrant and refugee experience in North Carolina and explore professional healthcare providers' ethical obligation to participate in their care. He will draw from the NASW Code of Ethics, which includes language on providing quality services for all, honoring diversity, embracing multicultural approaches, and obtaining education to understand oppression with respect to ethnicity and immigration status. He will also provide information and resources on best practices for working with refugees in North Carolina.

This workshop includes 6.0 hours of Ethics Credit.

This presenter is being supported through a partnership between the UNC-CH School of Social Work and the NC AHEC Program.

Please note: At this time, this program is only offered virtually.
