No family should have to face uncertainty alone. Staying informed, leaning on community, and knowing where to turn for help are some of the most powerful ways families build strength and resilience together. That's why we've put together the AP-OD Immigration Resources Guide, a one-stop collection of trusted, easy-to-find resources for families and the providers who support them.
What's Inside
The guide brings together vetted resources across seven key areas:
-
- Know Your Rights – Clear information on your rights at home, at work, at school, and when interacting with authorities.
- Rapid Response Networks – Local and state networks to call if you need help right away.
- Legal Help – Trusted legal organizations and directories to help you avoid scams and find real support.
- Detention and Deportation – Guidance and tools for staying connected with family during a difficult time.
- Mental Health – Resources to support emotional well-being for both children and adults, including culturally responsive care.
- Education – Information on children's right to learn and thrive in school, no matter their family's immigration status.
- Family Preparedness Toolkits – Practical, step-by-step tools to help families create a safety plan in advance.
Who It's For
This guide is for parents and caregivers who want clear answers and a plan for their family. It's also for early childhood providers, educators, and community partners who want a reliable resource to share with the families they serve.
How to Use It
You don't have to read it cover to cover. Bookmark it, skim the section that matters most to you right now, or share it with a colleague who works directly with families. Every resource included has been selected because it comes from a trusted organization and offers information families can act on.
