Families don’t need theory—they need a checklist and a calm plan. In this 45-minute online briefing, we’ll show you exactly how to name trusted decision-makers, sign the right documents, set up school and medical permissions, and keep housing and bills steady if detention happens. You’ll leave with a one-page Family Readiness Checklist (Illinois), sample scripts for the door, and links to free templates and next steps.
