Message from the CEO

Dear Friends,

Earlier this summer we witnessed children separated

from their parents at the US/Mexico border. As a ‘ _ V ,

father and a member of the early care and education ‘ ' -

field for over no years. I can't help but think about the ' ... _ v_ 4,.

impact on children and families who are affected by ‘ ‘ ‘i’ V»

the "Zero Tolerance" policy. While there have been ‘ ‘-.‘ _ .
new measures taken to reunite some of the 2,000 -3
children that have involuntarily been taken away from .4_

their parents, the extent of destruction this policy has .
caused on children is unprecedented. I ‘ -i I __
Children are aware of their surroundings. They may - * ' ’
have seen the news or heard adults discussing family — ' \
separation which might lead them to feeling sad, -2 '

anxious and confused. If you are looking for ways to \

talktoyour children aboutwhatis going on, I highly

suggest you visit our recent blog post, Talking to Kids

About Traumatic Evens with Tips and Videos found on -

our website (Irrvrmctroaorg). Here are additional ’
resources to aide you and your family during this time: v V; V.
