NINETY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE CHILDREN IN OUR SHELTERS IN 2018 CAME FROM THE NORTHERN TRIANGLE WHICH INCLUDES GUATEMALA, HONDURAS AND EL SALVADOR. MOST OF THE CHILDREN WERE MALES BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15-17, FLEEING VIOLENCE AND GANG THREATS IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES. OTHERS WERE ESCAPING POVERTY OR SEEKING REUNIFICATION WITH FAMILY MEMBERS ALREADY IN THE U.S.WITHIN 24-HOURS OF A CHILD'S ARRIVAL AT A SWK FACILITY, OUR CASE MANAGERS BEGIN WORKING ON THE PROCESS OF REUNIFICATION.
