Asylum Collaborative @ Stanford
The Asylum Collaborative at Stanford is a student-faculty run group whose goal is to provide comprehensive medical and psychological evaluations to asylum-seekers across the Bay Area.
Keywords: refugee, asylum, health, human rights
The Asylum Collaborative was founded at Stanford Medical School to provide free forensic psychological and medical evaluations for asylum seekers in the United States. Our organization consists of six committees that address different aspects of the evaluation process: Advocacy, Community Outreach, Community Resources, Operations, Training, and Quality Improvement. Current projects include partnering with Stanford Law School's Immigrant Rights Clinic for a training workshop, expanding support through faculty recruitment and outreach, and developing a website to centralize resources for asylum seekers in the Bay Area.
Skillset needs: No prior skillset is required; anyone interested in refugee/asylee health, human rights, community support, or health equity is encouraged to join! Optionally, any experience with website design would be greatly appreciated.
