Many children in immigrant families may qualify for legal protection-for themselves if unaccompanied, or as a derivative on parents' claims-on humanitarian grounds related to persecution or forced migration. Pediatric providers can offer a spectrum of multidirectional medical-legal supports to increase access to medical-legal services and support children who are undocumented or in mixed-status families. These activities can include providing trusted information, incorporating screening for health-related social needs, establishing networks for multidirectional referrals, and providing letters of support for legal protection. To expand workforce capacity for medical-legal services related to immigration, pediatric providers can also receive training to conduct specialized, trauma-informed forensic evaluations and can advocate at individual, local, state, federal, and global levels to address factors leading to persecution and forced migration while supporting individuals who may be eligible for legal protection.

为有资格获得合法人道主义救济的儿童提供儿科支持。


移民家庭中的许多儿童可能有资格基于与迫害或强迫移民有关的人道主义理由获得法律保护——如果无人陪伴，或者作为父母索赔的衍生品。儿科提供者可以提供一系列多方位的医疗法律支持，以增加获得医疗法律服务的机会，并为无证儿童或混合身份家庭的儿童提供支持。这些活动可以包括提供可信信息、纳入与健康相关的社会需求筛查、建立多向转介网络以及提供法律保护支持信。为了扩大与移民相关的医疗法律服务的劳动力能力，儿科服务提供者还可以接受培训，以进行专门的、基于创伤的法医评估，并可以在个人、地方、州、联邦和全球层面进行倡导，以解决导致迫害和虐待的因素。强迫移民，同时支持可能有资格获得法律保护的个人。 [小儿安。 2024；53(5)：e183-e188。]。
