The Texas Institute for Child & Family Wellbeing has launched Girasol, a program to help Texas immigrant children and families to heal from trauma through support, education, and connection.
Girasol projects include a social work team that collaborates with legal teams to provide support to women and children in detention; a social work team that provide direct support to families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border; training on trauma within the immigrant experience for lawyers, mental health professionals and others; and Navegando Austin, a website that compiles resources accessible to the Austin-area.
