One Life Counseling, a partners of the Community Collaboration for Children’s Success (CCCS) North Fair Oaks/Redwood City,  hosted “True Stories of the Immigrant Experience” training for the CCCS network this month to discuss the multiple ways immigrant youth are impacted throughout the immigration experience, including: 1) issues resulting from trauma at the border, 2) adaptation to new environments and dynamics, and 3) systemic barriers to getting basic needs met.  We thank One Life Counseling staff for sharing their personal experiences, wisdom, and expertise in how we can better foster trauma-informed care and support for immigrant communities in San Mateo County.  Please see here for a list of books and resources in Spanish (developed by One Life Counseling) to assist students/families most affected.
