This session will explore key legal considerations within today’s shifting federal landscape around immigration. Topics will include what happens when a client’s visa status is revoked, how to support immigrant and mixed-status families in developing guardianship plans for minors, and guidance related to power of attorney. This session is not intended to be a legal consultation but designed to create awareness and provide foundational knowledge to support those navigating legal uncertainties and preparing for unexpected changes.
Open to all faculty, staff, social workers, helping professionals, and community members who know or work with immigrant and mixed-status families. This course fulfills one-hour of the ethics requirement for licensure in the state of Illinois.
