Abstract or Description
As the immigration debate wages on, men, women, and children from the Global South seeking a better life for their families and from warn-torn countries seeking refuge are caught in the crosshairs of anti-family immigration policies. This symposium examines the individual, couple, and familial trauma exposures, risks, and resilience given immigrant and refugee situatedness in global context. Four papers delineate trauma, risk, and resilience among immigrant and refugee women, immigrant Latino couples, and mixed-status families using multiple methodologies. The panel will draw linkages between anti-family immigration policies and family outcomes, and call for culturally-relevant and evidence-based interventions supporting family resilience.
