In January 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed significant encounters with approximately 16,182 migrants daily. Of particular concern was the sharp increase in the number of children and families attempting to enter the U.S., with figures more than doubling during the same period. Their journey is often fraught with numerous challenges and obstacles.
It is crucial to recognize that when children undergo such stressful and traumatic experiences, it is imperative to provide them with the necessary support to develop coping skills and address the aftermath of these hardships.
By acknowledging the realities these students face and proactively implementing supportive measures, we can help them navigate through their difficulties, foster resilience, and ensure they have an equal opportunity to thrive in their educational pursuits.
This workshop will:
Build awareness of the various traumas and stresses that can affect many of our students, specifically undocumented immigrant students
Identify strategies and best practices to support both educators and students
Facility Fee: $18
