Participate in "Back to School" Mental Health Twitter Chat

 

The goal is to reach students, educators, and immigrant communities that would like to discuss the challenges, needs, and resource-sharing regarding mental health wellness. Given that immigrant communities face heightened fear amidst increasing deportation activity, we thought that this digital space to talk about how immigrant children and communities are impacted would be a good step to raising awareness on immigrant mental health.

This "Back to School Health" Twitter chat is coordinated by California Immigration Policy Center and the Children's Partnership to discuss mental health of immigrant children. 

We're asking folks to share the information via Twitter using any of these sample Tweets:
  • Join @KidsPartnership & @CALimmigrant on 8/30 at 1pm for a #back2schoolhealth Twitter chat on mental health of children in immgrnt families! (Click to Tweet)
  • Check out @KidsPartnership @CALimmigrant #back2schoolhealth Twitter chat on 8/30 at 1PM on mental health of children in immgrnt families! (Click to Tweet)
  • Excited to join @CALimmigrant & @KidsPartnership #back2schoolhealth Twitter chat on immigrant mental health on 8/30 from 1-2pm (PST)! (Click to Tweet)
