Immigrant Child Health Program

An interdisciplinary initiative of the Early Life Stress and Resilience Program

Welcome to the Immigrant Child Health Program (ICHP)

We want newcomer immigrant youth and families to find their footholds in their new communities and thrive on their own terms.

Newcomer immigrant children and families have incredible resilience but often experience traumatic stress in their originating country, during migration, and upon arrival. While integrating into U.S. communities, they often face numerous legal, educational, health, mental health, and social challenges.

We seek to develop, evaluate, and support programs that provide integrated, multidisciplinary, trauma-informed services for newcomer children and families.  We achieve this through co-creating with community members, service providers, policy advocates, and researchers.

Our program is generously supported by Stanford Impact Labs. Read more about our work on their website here.
