Due to compulsory education laws all children must be enrolled in school, therefore, immigrant students are forced to try to make sense of a new and often foreign education system. One out of five children in the United States have immigrant parents and by 2040 the prediction is one out of three children will be born to immigrant parents.  The relationship established between educators and students play a positive role in determining the success of immigrant students.  Schools are often viewed as safe places in which an immigrant youth could find assistance and support.  Best practices and ways to engage students and families, navigate services and useful intervention strategies to support their mental health needs will be discussed.
