Dr. Aimee Hilado, at the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice, and chair of the Coalition for Immigrant Mental Health, has worked with frontline staff on helping migrants feel settled in communities… Before they arrived in the United States, these migrants had already endured a hard journey, Hilado told me. “They witnessed so much loss of life. They take pictures of people that are floating in the rivers, and they see people that can’t make it or who will die by suicide on the path to come to the United States.”
