Toolkits for Social Workers Working with Immigrant Families  

Migration and Child Welfare
National Network:
A Social Worker’s Tool Kit for Working with Immigrant Families

http://research.jacsw.uic.edu/icwnn/files/2013/10/pc-toolkit-trauma-immigrant-families.pdf

This tool kit provides public child welfare and community-based agencies working with immigrant families with guidelines for integrating child welfare practice—from engagement to case closure—with trauma-informed care and trauma-specific services. In addition, the tool kit describes strategies to build an organization’s capacity to better respond to the needs of immigrant families exposed to child maltreatment, domestic and community violence, and other traumatic stressors. It responds to frequently asked questions illustrated by case examples and provides website links and other resources.
