ABOUT US
KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER is a 501(c)(3) Non Profit Organization that re-unites children and families together to restore mental health. All donations made to Keep Families Together are tax deductible.
The journey following the appalling news around June 2018 of children being separated from their parents and into detention centers, it is in this light we took a stand and act as a responsible corporation by embarking on the Keep Families Together.
“The prolonged separation in detention centers, risks traumatizing children who are already fleeing nightmarish situations in their home countries. The policy is a strategy setting children up for psychological scars that will take a lifetime to undo, states Psychiatry Professor at the University of Texas, Luis Zayas.
Zayas further states that the Trauma and stress impact the growth patterns of the brain that can cause decision-making, social development and intellectual capacity to be impaired. It really is an inhumane approach to handling the refugee crisis”.
Mental health is a severe disease and we should not overlook it. It is time to stand up for Liberation for the Kids. Keep Families Together Foundation marched the streets of Los Angeles at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA on July 21, 2018.
