Evaluating Asylum Seekers: An Interview with Dr. Arno Vosk

Rachel Webber, 2013

In the third installment of Evaluating Asylum Seekers, Sampsonia Way speaks to Dr. Arno Vosk, an advisor to a medical student clinic at the University of Pennsylvania. I find it incredible that people who have endured such suffering in their home countries should find it so difficult to get refuge in the United States.

Screening and assessing immigrant and refugee youth in school-based mental health programs

Dina Birman, Wing Yi Chan, 2008

According to the (2000) Census, 1 of every 5 children in the United States is a child of immigrants  either a child who is an immigrant or has at least one immigrant parent. While most children who experience mental health problems have limited access to help, children who have migrated to this country, especially under difficult circumstances, face particular challenges.
