What is an Immigration Evaluation?
An immigration evaluation is a specialized psychosocial assessment designed to provide evidence for immigration cases and answer specific psycho-legal questions. It goes beyond a mental health assessment, exploring the complex interaction of factors that influence an individual’s well-being and factors specific to immigration cases. Our work helps ensure that mental health factors are acknowledged, providing legal professionals with important insights necessary to present a comprehensive understanding of a client’s situation.
