Refer your client
for a Forensic Medical Evaluation

HHRI's Human Rights Collaborative hosts a forensic medical evaluation clinic, which occurs monthly.  The UCSF Health and Human Rights Initiative's Faculty Evaluators provide the clinical expertise to document the physical and psychological manifestations of torture and other ill-treatment experienced by individuals applying for asylum and other forms of legal protection in the United States. The clinic itself is managed by HRC Clinic Coordinators, a dedicated team of students selected on an annual basis, who coordinate all aspects of referral, documentation and scheduling. Referrals should be submitted by the client's attorney.

Absolutely helpful.  Especially in this case, because you reached him in a way that I couldn’t. Your evaluation gave us insight to what happened to him and allowed us to see his scars without forcing us to exposing himself to us in an uncomfortable space.
