Family Preparedness for Immigrant Families
Thursday September 3, 2026 10:15am - 11:15am CDT
Junior Ballroom
Many immigrant parents and legal guardians are concerned about who can care for their children or make decisions for them if the parent or legal guardian is detained or deported.

The session will also include basic immigration safety planning tips for non-immigration practitioners who want to assist their clients with these types of advanced-planning documents.
