If you deal with an immigrant population you may have noticed a slight drawback in participation this year following the election of our now president. I work primarily in a large Hispanic community. Parent University is the program I run which offers free classes to parents under these four categories: health and wellness, effective parenting, navigating the education system, and personal growth and development. This is a relatively new program that experienced a quick reduction in parent participation. In my community Hispanic families have lined up for hours just to see a notary that could write a note for their child not to be given away to social services in the case they are deported. So what do we do now? My topic is to foster the discussion of ways to re-engage community participation that involves trust and meaningful experiences that they may find helpful and beneficial.
