Description

Lives in Limbo: Trauma, Healing and the Immigrant Experience

Monday, October 29
Wong Auditorium, MIT Tang Center, Building E51
2 Amherst St, Cambridge
5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Immigration policies, along with anti-immigrant rhetoric at the local and national levels, have generated trauma with lasting impacts on children, families and residents who consider the United States their home. In this CCF forum, researchers, primary care physicians, and mental health practitioners will discuss the impact of current immigration policies on the health and wellbeing of immigrant populations, offering practical strategies for individuals coping with trauma and the clinical teams supporting them.

Admission is free; voluntary donations to the Cambridge Legal Defense Fund for Immigrants are welcome.

The lecture hall is at the corner of Amherst and Wadsworth Streets, a two-block walk from the Kendall Square/MIT MBTA Station. Parking is limited. For detailed directions, visit the MIT Building E51 webpage.
