What are the specific challenges to counseling undocumented immigrants?

What will be an ideal response?


The first major challenge is access to care. Undocumented immigrants are likely to face tremendous obstacles in obtaining publicly funded health care services, both because of policies creating barriers to access and because of the fear of being identified as undocumented. They are also significantly less likely than legal residents and native-born Americans to have health insurance, or to have health care providers they see consistently. They also have to deal with the negative attitudes of others toward them
