Please join us for a webinar on supporting unaccompanied immigrant children (UCs) and their families within child welfare systems. The session will provide a brief overview of unaccompanied children, including the primary reasons for migration, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) reunification process, and the role of Post-Release Services. We will then examine how UC cases may present in child welfare practice, including common safety, maltreatment, and placement-related concerns. Discussion will also address cultural considerations, language access, family dynamics, and barriers to disclosure that may influence assessment and engagement. Finally, the training will provide practical strategies for building trust, conducting trauma-informed interviews, and strengthening cross-system collaboration.
Designed for child protection, child prevention, and other child welfare professionals, this interactive training will provide practical tools and considerations for engaging, assessing, and supporting unaccompanied children and their families within the child welfare system. This workshop is intended for child welfare professionals and not intended for ORR funded providers.
