When our communities experience violence and fear, children and the adults who care for them carry that weight. At Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health, our values remain clear and unwavering: every child, caregiver and family deserves safety, dignity, and care. We know trauma has ripple effects in our communities, and it is our collective responsibility to respond with accountability, compassion, and support.
Please Join us on Friday January 16th at 12:00 PM CST for a pop-up training on Supporting Children During Immigration Enforcement Operations with Hopewell R. Hodges. Hopewell is a PhD candidate in the University of Minnesota’s joint-track doctoral program in developmental psychology and clinical psychology.
This training will offer concrete strategies that adults can use to support children during periods of uncertainty and fear. Attendees will learn skills for communicating with children about immigration enforcement, restoring predictability and safety, promoting agency, and, most importantly, listening well.
