Students and families facing immigration-related experiences often carry invisible stressors—this two-hour live virtual training equips school personnel to recognize and respond with confidence and compassion. The uncertainty and instability of transitions and policy changes can contribute to significant emotional and social challenges. Teachers, nurses, therapists, administrators, and other school staff play a key role in creating safe and supportive environments where all students can thrive. Participants will explore the mental health and psychosocial impacts that immigration-related stressors may have on individuals, families, and communities. The session will highlight principles of trauma-informed care through a culturally responsive lens and provide practical strategies to build trust, promote resilience, and strengthen safety within school and community settings.
