Course Overview
Young children and families impacted by immigration often experience stress and uncertainty that can affect development, relationships, and a sense of safety. This session explores practical, culturally responsive strategies to support young children and caregivers in this context. Grounded in a relationship-based and trauma-informed approach, participants will learn how these experiences may influence development and attachment, how to recognize signs of distress, and how to respond in ways that strengthen connection and support well-being. Through real-world examples, the session will highlight strategies to build on families' strengths and communicate with young children about fear, separation, and uncertainty in developmentally appropriate ways.
