Family separations: surviving danger only to suffer trauma at the US border

Cady Voge - The Guardian

This article from the Guardian shares some of the stories of long-term trauma caused by the U.S. family separation policy. Of young children ages zero to three who were separated from their parents at the border, Dr Faye Snyder, psychologist and licensed marriage and family therapist, says “it is important to understand that an attachment break at that age is so much more traumatic than to an adult.” The article tells the stories of families who have since been reunited but continue to feel the impacts of the trauma of separation.
