Adversity & Resilience: The Impact of Immigration on Children and Families

Children’s Crisis Treatment Center and The Thomas Scattergood Foundation invite you to join us for Adversity & Resilience: The Impact of Immigration on Children and Families.

CCTC’s 2019 advocacy event will focus on the topic of immigration through the lens of a trauma-informed care approach. Toward the aim of further creating a welcoming city for immigrants, this event will explore topics such as the immigration experience from migration through acculturation; myths about immigrants; and individual, familial and community factors which promote success.
