Latino Immigrant Families
TXICFW believes the UT School of Social Work and the entire field of social work needs to strengthen and formalize it’s response to immigrant detention. Their needs to be increased awareness and understanding of the trauma and impact of migration and that immigration services should seek to increase access to psychosocial evaluations, counseling, and other mental health services that are mindful of the unique family dynamics and struggles of undocumented families. TXICFW believes efforts should be put forth to empower undocumented families to plan for their future and increase opportunities for social work students to advocate for these families.
