Providing Immigrant and Refugee Children with Trauma-Informed Care
Resource Details
Culture, race, and language are just a few factors that affect the way refugee and immigrant children define and see their traumatic experiences. Therefore, when providing trauma-informed care, child-serving professionals should take into consideration the unique needs and experiences of refugee and immigrant children and their families. Practicing cultural awareness, responsiveness, and understanding across child-serving systems is essential for improving the standard of care that these children and families receive. The NCTSN has several resources to help families, caregivers, and child-serving professionals provide trauma-informed care and support to refugee and immigrant children.
