Restoring Safety is a bilingual, evidence-based workshop designed to help clinicians, educators, and community leaders support Latino and mixed-status families impacted by immigration-related trauma. Grounded in the S.A.F.E. + STRONG framework, it teaches providers how to respond effectively to both crisis moments and long-term developmental needs.
Participants learn how to:
Stabilize acute distress using simple, body-based grounding and regulation tools.
Assess trauma through a culturally and developmentally informed lens, distinguishing contextual distress from clinical disorders.
Create family safety plans that restore parental capacity and protect children during uncertainty.
Navigate ethical dilemmas involving confidentiality, reporting, and scope of practice.
Build resilience by strengthening identity, belonging, and community connection.
Sustain their own wellbeing through reflective, trauma-responsive self-care.
Available in flexible formats—from a 60-minute Quick-Start for crisis settings to a 5-hour comprehensive training—Restoring Safety equips providers with practical, research-backed tools to promote safety, dignity, and healing for immigrant and mixed-status families living under chronic fear and instability.
