In this segment from NPR, Efrén Olivares of the Texas Civil Rights Project discusses the lasting impacts of family separation on children and parents who have since been reunified. "Several of them have been having counseling and access to psychologists for treatment," said Olivares, "things like post-traumatic stress disorder; separation anxiety, where now the children do not want to be apart from their mother, from their father for a few minutes because they get anxious right away. I don't want to call them side effects because they are the direct effects of the separation. Especially the younger children are still struggling to recover now, more than 18 months later."
