Undocumented students face many challenges while trying to navigate through the K-12 educational system. This article emphasizes the educational and personal challenges and traumas this vulnerable student population faces. Using the ecological systems theory (1977) developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner as a framework, two student vignettes will be presented. Both vignettes will provide information on laws and policies that apply to undocumented students as well as highlight counseling interventions to address the stress and trauma that impact their mental health.
