Thousands of families migrated from Venezuela and other countries to Chicago, New York and other cities in the U.S. – and their children, who had already faced significant trauma, had significant mental health needs. With support from the Fund, reporters from El Tiempo Latino and Chicago Health Magazine spent a year reviewing data and interviewing dozens of experts and families to examine how schools and other systems in Chicago and New York are meeting these children’s mental health needs. Their reporting examines the new and evolving challenges that the Trump Administration’s immigration policies present for schools and communities.
