Introducing Girasol Online!
We are pleased to present our new program structure: Girasol Online! Due to the current COVID-19 situation, Girasol has temporarily moved online. Girasol Online will continue to build professional capacity and connection to increase the ability to work at the intersection of mental health and immigration.
Even with widespread measures to keep everyone healthy by practicing social distancing, we’ve still received many requests to provide trainings to social workers, lawyers, and volunteers who are working in service of the wellbeing of immigrants. We’ll be providing online trainings, resources, and opportunities to meet this need as we continue to work towards our ultimate goal, helping Texas Immigrant children and families to heal from trauma through support, education, and connection.

The Heart of Our Work
Girasol strives to emphasize its vision of working together to create a global community of trauma-informed professionals. In so doing, we are ensuring access to integrated systems of support and resources for the well-being of all immigrant families.
We get it done with these 4 program areas:
|
|
We collaborate and maintain a statewide network of social workers and mental health professionals working in immigration.
Learn more about the Mental Health Collaborative here. |
|
We organize an interdisciplinary Social Work Detention Response Team that volunteers at the U.S.- Mexico border.

We maintain and update the Navegando Austin website, a comprehensive list of available immigration resources.
