Many families in Washington state are facing challenges because of immigration-related detention or deportation. The new Resources for Families Impacted by Immigration-Related Separation Flyer is available for families who are dealing with separation or are worried it might happen.

Check out the flyer for the following resources:

  • Parent/Caregiver guides to helping children through traumatic separation
  • Understanding trauma in children with disabilities
  • Workbooks for children and youth on healing and resilience
  • Family support and legal resources for parents and caregivers
  • Information about education rights and resources for K-12 and higher education

The flyer is currently available in English and will soon be translated into a handful of languages. Find all versions of the flyer on DCYF’s Publication Library
