WCCHR Speaker Series: LGBTQ+ Health and Immigration Law Today

May 22, 2025 - 6:00pm

Please join WCM's Clinic for Human Rights, Qlinic, and Queer Health Alliance on a discussion regarding LGBTQ+ health as it pertains to immigration law today. This conversation will be led by Nicholas O'Farrell, staff attorney at New York Legal Assistance Group's LGBTQ+ team. The team has served 770 LGBTQ+ clients on legal issues ranging from name changes to representing immigrants in applications for asylum. Nicholas will be using his expertise to bring us up to date on current challenges faced by LGBTQ+ clients today as well as how we can be better clinicians for them. The location will be on WCM's campus at 1300 York Ave. The exact location details will be sent later to those who RSVP. We will also have a Zoom option for those who cannot make it in person.
