The Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) has created a Family Separation Rapid Response Team Resource flyer that lists trusted resources for families at risk of separation due to immigration-related detention or deportation. It includes links to sample immigrant safety plans, school guidance, community partners, legal supports, and information on Knowing Your Rights and training.
