The Border is Here: Addressing Trauma and Loss in Mixed-Status and Undocumented Immigrant Families with Young Children New York Zero-to-Three Network Annual Conference
Presented by: Carmen Rosa Norona, Ivys Fernandez-Pastrana and Elizabeth RaskinCenter of Excellence in Immigrant Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health. Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Boston Medical Center
The ripple effect of immigration policy enforcement on young children in immigrant families is an urgent topic for infant and early childhood providers (pediatricians, mental health clinicians, early childhood educators, home visitors, and other frontline workers). This presentation will explore:
providers’ values, beliefs, and perceptions regarding working with immigrant families and on how these shape practice
the historical, socio-economic-political context forcing families to leave their home countries, the implications of pre, during, and post-immigration traumatic stressors, and the traumatic nature of threats of separation or forcible separation on the development and well-being of very young children
the “Family Preparedness Plan,” a developmentally, trauma and diversity-informed tool to support and empower immigrant families in addressing fears of separation-related to immigration policy
the impacts of the work in providers (vicarious traumatization, secondary traumatic stress, burnout, etc.) and strategies to address these effects.

Never Too Late: Solving Problems Collaboratively with Very Young Kids
Presented by: Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., originator of the innovative, evidence-based approach called Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS)
Dr. Ross W. Greene will describe the innovative, evidence-based, trauma-informed model he writes about in his influential books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, and Raising Using Beings...especially as applied to infants and very young kids. The CPS model has transformed thinking and practices in countless families, schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities throughout the world. The model focuses on solving problems rather than on modifying behavior, emphasizes collaborative rather than unilateral solutions, encourages proactive rather than reactive intervention, de-emphasizes diagnostic categories, and provides practical, research-based tools for assessment and intervention. Participants in this 90-minute presentation will leave with an understanding of the underpinnings of the model and its application to infants and very young children.
