    Description

    This study presents the results of in-depth interviews with Northern Triangle parents who have experienced separation from, and subsequent reunification with, at least one child as part of the immigration process. It builds upon previous understanding of how family dynamics are affected by this process. Some of the main themes that emerged involved the challenges the parents faced, the factors they found to be helpful, the role of the school, and a possible return to home country. The results highlight the need for services for this growing population, particularly in the area of trauma-informed interventions that focus on repairing attachments between children and parents.
