The Girasol program at the Texas Institute for Child & Family Wellbeing has released its first two-year report. The program’s mission is to provide trainings, consultations and resources to build a network of trauma-informed professionals that support immigrant families.
The program was launched in 2018 as the culmination of volunteering work by students and faculty with immigrants in detention centers as well as with the professionals who serve them. The report shows the program’s accomplishments and what’s next as the team continues to work at the intersection of immigration and mental health.
