Structural Support for Undocumented Students & Trainees in Psychology with Dra. Nancy Rodriguez

As part of our Section 3 Plática Series, Dra. Rodriguez will kick off  the series with a plática that offers a critical lens on the structural barriers undocumented individuals face in clinical pathways, including practicum and internship placements, licensure requirements, paid training positions, and financial aid. It moves beyond allyship as a personal stance and asks what it takes to build support into programs, training sites, and professional organizations. Using a culturally responsive, trauma-informed framework, we will examine where the training pipeline breaks down and how chronic fear and exclusion shape wellbeing and professional development. We will also explore what faculty, supervisors, and colleagues can change in policy and practice, not just in attitude. Participants will leave with concrete strategies and a clear set of next steps for advocacy within their own settings.
