Legal, ethical, statutory, or regulatory policies, guidelines, and/or standards that impact practice, education, and research will also be discussed.

Implications of the findings from the authors’ latest qualitative study of deported Latina immigrants’ lived experiences will be presented for discussion in the experiential workshop. The workshop is designed to demonstrate how to apply social justice-oriented principles into research, treatment, assessment and to improve diversity training that mobilizes immigrant rights and immigrant justice.
