Description
This research study highlights the detrimental effects of family separations on children's well-being, academic performance, and long-term outcomes. It emphasizes the urgent need for research on the mental health effects of immigration policies on children at risk of parental deportation. A qualitative research study was used to understand the experiences and challenges of adults with undocumented immigrant parents during various stages of schooling. The research utilizes the Kawa model to explore emotional factors and barriers affecting students' occupational engagement in an educational setting. The study aims to identify supports and barriers to school engagement for students with undocumented immigrant parents, using a qualitative descriptive approach with open-ended survey questions. Participants will be recruited through snowball sampling, and data will be collected through surveys and the drawing of the Kawa model. Data analysis will involve identifying themes using Braun and Clarke's six-step thematic analysis.
