This live virtual community conversation will feature a panel of counseling professionals and published authors whose work focuses on counseling with immigrant communities. As immigration policies and public discourse continue to evolve, counselors are navigating complex clinical, ethical, and advocacy considerations. This informal and interactive session will center on the current state of immigration and its impact on clients, families, and communities. Panelists will share insights from their clinical experience, and scholarship, while responding to participant questions in real time. In this open forum, panelists will explore the realities facing immigrant clients today, discuss what they are seeing in practice, and offer perspective grounded in research, scholarship, and lived experience. Whether you work directly with immigrant populations or want to deepen your cultural responsiveness, this session offers an opportunity to learn from trusted voices in the field and connect with colleagues in meaningful dialogue.
