Refugee Mock Hearing Support

A refugee mock hearing is a practice session that helps you prepare for your Refugee Protection Division (RPD) hearing.

During a mock hearing, you can:

• Practice answering questions in a safe setting

• Become familiar with the hearing structure

• Reduce anxiety by knowing what to expect

• Build confidence in telling your story

This is not a real hearing and no decisions are made.

Enlee’s mock hearing support focuses on emotional readiness and psychological support, not legal advice.

Our approach is:

• Trauma-informed

• Supportive and respectful

• Focused on emotional regulation and confidence

• Sensitive to the impact of trauma, fear, and stress

We understand that telling your story can be difficult. You are not expected to be perfect.

Depending on your needs, mock hearing support may include:

• A structured practice hearing

• Support with grounding and calming techniques

• Help managing anxiety during questioning

• Space to reflect on emotional reactions

• Support before and after the session

This service is designed to help you feel more prepared and less alone.

It is important to understand that Enlee:

• Does not provide legal advice

• Does not replace your lawyer or legal representative

• Does not assess the strength of your claim

• Does not influence the outcome of your hearing

This service is emotional and psychological support only.

Refugee mock hearing support may be helpful if you:

• Have an upcoming refugee hearing

• Feel anxious or overwhelmed about testifying

• Have a trauma history that makes sharing difficult

• Want to practice in a safe, supportive space

You can receive this support alongside your legal representation.

• This service is offered based on availability

• Sessions are confidential

• Services may be provided by supervised clinicians

• Enlee does not provide crisis or emergency services

If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services.
