An estimated 300,000 immigrants crossed the US-Mexico border in December – the highest monthly total recorded in a quarter of a century. Among those arriving are thousands of children, travelling alone or with their families. Research shows displacement and trauma can cause psychological, behavioral and emotional problems in young people. Advocates warn the migrant crisis could become a mental health crisis if it’s not addressed urgently.
