The Research Institute Without Walls, an NGO that does collaborative research on the impact of human rights violations on LGBT mental health, invites you to join the Collaborative Working Group for LGBT Asylum and Refugees.

Physician for Human RightsImmigration Equality, and Psychologists for Social Responsibility are our first member groups.

The purpose of the Collaborative Working Group is to share information and coordinate research on the psychological effects of persecution and torture because of sexual orientation and gender identity in asylum seekers. This population faces special mental health challenges when navigating the challenges of rebuilding their lives.

We invite groups and individuals to join us in the formation and development of a working group that will allow us to collaborate on documenting the experiences of our clients. Gathering empirical data will allow us to more effectively help LGBT asylum seekers and refugees.

Our first project is a collaboration with Mike Corradini, asylum advocacy associate and attorney at Physicians for Human Rights. We are conducting the first empirical study on the impact of immigration detention on the mental health of LGBT refugees.

We are seeking LGBT persons who have been in detention who are willing to be interviewed about their experiences.

Please let us know if you would be interested in joining the Collaborative Working Group and/or might be able to refer to us LGBT persons who’ve been in immigration detention, who may be willing to be interviewed. Participation is confidential and interviews can be conducted by telephone. For more information you can contact Ariel Shidlo, PhD at ariel.shidlo@riww.org

  2. Mental health is one of the areas where research plays a crucial role in unravelling and finding ways to fight the complexity of psychological well-being. This platform is where this complex nature of mental health and its research is explored, to form a community that pays attention to it.
    The second portion of our conversation entails Research Topics For Finance Thesis. By means of this phrase one can see that the financial world and the academic sphere have the place of contact where the result of the academic research can lead to the advancement of the financial theories and practices. The confluence of these diverse fields (economics and mental health) can create ground-breaking ideas, for instance looking at the financial effects of the mental health policies or investigating the economic impact of mental health problems. The imaginative mix of this subjects highlights one of the highest importance owning interdisciplinary research upon our journey to knowledge.
