Immigration Resources
The Early Childhood Funders became interested in the impact of real and potential immigration reform efforts on children and their families specifically how to address legal issues and the impact of trauma on children. Following two presentations on these issues, ECF has compiled a list of resources that we hope will be helpful to providers and parents. The resources are mostly available in English and Spanish (and some include other languages as well) and contain information on how to deal with ICE, sample family preparedness plans, resource guides, videos, and other helpful information.
