Todo Por Mi Familia

Program Impact

Following the court order, Seneca was awarded a contract from the U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration’s General Council to develop Todo Por Mi Familia. TPMF has grown into a nationwide effort to connect reunified families in the United States with mental health assessments and treatment. Seneca enlisted more than 300 clinicians to join the network of responders while working closely with legal advocacy organizations, including the ACLU and the Biden administration’s Family Reunification Task Force. More than 1,000 individual family members participated in behavioral health services over this initial contract period.

In June 2022, Seneca was awarded a new iteration of this contract under the auspices of HHS’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration. This new contract recognizes the need to continue providing free mental health treatment and expands mental health treatment to include a more comprehensive array of behavioral health services. These include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychoeducational classes, 
prereunification counseling for children expecting their parents to return to the U.S. soon, and inpatient psychiatric services.

The new contract also recognizes the incredible complexities facing families settling in the United States and supports the delivery of comprehensive behavioral case management services to every family who wishes to engage in such services.

The scope of services and support under this federal contract include:

• A Seneca behavioral health case manager completes an initial assessment and service plan in collaboration with the family, and then coordinate referrals to local services, including behavioral health providers, to meet the families’ various needs.
• Free counseling and behavioral health services conducted in the language the family prefers.
• Case managers offer families psychoeducation and parenting support, as well as assistance with enrolling children in school and coordinating with school-based behavioral health providers.
• Case managers coordinate enrolling families in public benefits and/or gaining access to legal resources.
• Case managers offering child-centered pre-reunification support and counseling in instances where the parents are still in the home country and are working on travel plans to the U.S.


Since the program initially launched in 2020, TPMF has provided critical outreach and case management services to more than 6,200 individuals.
