The CARE Toolkit by Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) equips professionals with a trauma-informed, youth-centered framework—Connect, Assess, Respond, Educate—to support unaccompanied and separated immigrant children. Designed for attorneys, social workers, educators, and community partners, this comprehensive guide offers actionable strategies to build trust, assess risk, link children to critical resources, and empower them through education and supportive care. With tools rooted in psychological first aid and cultural humility, the toolkit addresses the emotional, legal, and practical needs of immigrant children navigating complex systems.
