Reflections on Engagement with an Immigrant Child-Parent Dyad Recently Reunified [1]

NCTSN Resource

Resource Description

Shows the modern-day manifestations of the intersection of historical, intergenerational, and migration trauma and its compounding impact with present-day traumatic stressors on the parent-child relationship of an indigenous Guatemalan parent whose young child came to the US as an unaccompanied minor when they are reunified.  Viewers will also see a framework for engagement where the therapeutic relationship is used to restore safety, co-regulation, protection, and hope in the parent-child relationship. This framework is aimed not only at repairing the child-parent relationship but also at exploring, acknowledging, and including the family’s historical and socio-cultural context in developmental trauma treatment.
