A program for undocumented ASW, AMFT and APCCs in California
Here at Immigrants Rising, we provide resources and support that empower undocumented young people to pursue their educational and career goals, and build a brighter future for themselves and their community.
We are excited to announce that we are accepting new applications for Immigrants Rising’s Mental Health Career Program! The aim of this program is to support the professional development of aspiring undocumented mental health professionals who need to accumulate hours toward their licensure in California.
