Click here to see CAMFT’s latest press release and letter to Department of Homeland Security regarding the separation of children from their families.
CAMFT released a public statement as well as a letter to the Department of Homeland Security denouncing the current border policies that continue to cause long-term psychological harm to immigrant children and families.
“Children who experience difficult life events such as being suddenly and unexpectedly separated from their parents show increased incidents of chronic disease, academic struggle, incarceration, homelessness and substance abuse throughout their lifetimes. These lingering trauma symptoms hamper the trajectory of their economic success and stability.”
