The Texas Institute of Child & Family Wellbeing (one of the nine research units at the Steve Hicks School of Social Work) has launched Girasol, a program to help Texas immigrant children and families to heal from trauma through support, education, and connection.
Girasol works with community partners to support immigrants by providing services to women and children during and post-detention, educating service providers and students on migration and trauma, and connecting community members with resources. Learn more about the program and how to get involved.
