Join Sharon Balmer Cartagena of Public Counsel for a presentation that will provide practical tips for attorneys who work with immigrant families at risk of separation due to detention or deportation. With the goal of reducing a family’s risk of child welfare involvement, the presentation focuses on creating care plans based on whether a parent wishes to reunite with their child in their country of origin or have their child remain in the United States with a caregiver. It equips attorneys with the knowledge to guide families in gathering critical documents, naming trusted caregivers, and navigating complex custody issues with safety and dignity in mind.
