How is ICE activity affecting K–12 school communities?

Join us for an important and timely conversation examining the traumatic impact of ICE on students, families, caregivers, and educators. This webinar will distinguish among primary, secondary, and vicarious trauma, explore acute and deferred symptomology, and provide practical stress-management strategies for school settings.

There will be time for questions and dialogue.

We hope you will join us.  Please share the flyer with your colleagues and friends.
