The ABA Children’s Immigration Law Academy (CILA) invites you to join us for a webinar focused on enhancing your trauma-informed Spanish language skills as a lawyer or legal staff. The training is being offered by CILA staff.

During the webinar, we will offer practical strategies to help you build rapport with Spanish-speaking youth clients and advocate for them in a trauma-informed manner, even if your Spanish is mas or menos. During the webinar, CILA staff will:

• Offer key pillars for a trauma-informed approach in working with unaccompanied children
• Provide useful vocabulary and phrasing in Spanish to convey key concepts
• Demonstrate role plays in Spanish highlighting helpful communication techniques
• Share culturally relevant resources for continued learning

Speakers will include:

• Marissa Barrera, Managing Social Worker, CILA
• Shalom Hernandez, Social Worker, CILA
• Yasmin Yavar, Attorney & Deputy Director, CILA
