It is estimated that over 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States; over 2.5 million of those immigrants live in California, Arizona, or Nevada. Because many are involved in essential work but do not qualify for most state or federal relief, undocumented immigrants have largely been left to fend for themselves while facing increased economic and health risks.
This course will describe the health status of the undocumented population in the United States and discuss the need for Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) when planning and providing services. It will outline the Trauma-Informed Care model as a way to approach undocumented clients that are facing trauma.

Discuss the model of Trauma-Informed Care as it applies to care of immigrants.

Create a community model of care for undocumented immigrants that connects the immigrants population to resources on a local and state level that promote their health and wellness.
