Immigration Evaluations

About

A Mental Health Immigration Evaluation, also known as a Hardship Evaluation, is a specialized mental health assessment conducted by a licensed clinician. These evaluations are often required for asylum, refugee status, and various other forms of immigration relief.


The primary objectives of an immigration evaluation include assessing the individual's current mental health and emotional well-being. This involves a thorough examination of their psychological state, documenting any past trauma and its impact on their mental health. Additionally, the evaluation aims to describe potential long-term psychological challenges related to the individual's immigration status. By providing a detailed report on the individual's mental health needs and the potential hardships they may face if deported, these evaluations offer a comprehensive understanding of their situation.


These evaluations can be pivotal in supporting cases where the individual has experienced extreme hardship, trauma, has a high-medical needs family member, has faced exploitation or abuse, or is seeking political asylum. By providing a clear and detailed understanding of an individual's mental health, these evaluations play a crucial role in immigration proceedings. They help ensure that those in need receive the appropriate relief and support, highlighting the importance of mental health in the context of immigration.
