A program of NMSU School of Social Work, the Center identifies relevant and timely information about immigrant families at risk of involvement in the child welfare system, conducts needed research, and shares information through trainings and technical assistance, professional networks, webinars, and publications.
Through its diverse membership, the Center links and supports professionals across the child welfare and immigration fields to (1) build skills and organizational capacities, (2) advocate for policies that support children’s positive futures, and (3) identify priority areas for research. Numerous reports, policy statements, practice toolkits, and research studies have been generated and circulated by the Center over the past decade.
The CICW promotes the welfare of children of immigrants and their families through original research, resource development and distribution, training and technical assistance, and national leadership, including the sponsoring of cross-sector conferences, professional networks, and advocacy.
