Since the 1980s, El Salvador has survived a 12-year civil war, two major earthquakes, devastating hurricanes, a massive drought, a famine, and now the current levels of violence related to gang presence across the country. Nearly everyone has had personal experience with at least one but more likely multiple traumatic experiences during their lifetime. Children are at high risk for experiencing toxic stress and being locked into a stress response that limits their possibility for healthy development. Parents, also victims of high levels of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and current trauma, choose migration as their best chance for a better future. The best possibility for a better future for children is promoting their resilience by ensuring a constant caring caregiver and preventing any disruption of that bond. Ensuring children and parents can be together is the hope for children in what is an impossible situation.
