Introduction

Contact the Asylum Network

Each year, tens of thousands of people from around the world seek asylum in the United States. Many have been physically or psychologically tortured in their countries of origin and may face further persecution, even death, if forced to return. The members of PHR's Asylum Network assist these asylum seekers by conducting mental and physical evaluations to document the forensic evidence of abuse. Our clinicians also use their expertise to educate their colleagues and to inform public policy affecting refugees and asylum seekers. Asylum Network volunteers number more than 500 nationwide. The work they do can literally save a life.
