Legal aid providers across Texas are increasingly supporting families facing the risk of sudden separation due to immigration enforcement. This session provides a practical, replicable model for designing and executing family preparedness clinics that utilize volunteer attorneys to draft powers of attorney for the care of children and management of personal affairs. Participants will learn how to structure clinics, train and supervise volunteers, ensure ethical and legal compliance, and deliver trauma-informed, culturally competent services at scale. Attendees will leave with concrete tools, workflows, and strategies they can implement in their own organizations.
