Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text captures the profound unacknowledged crisis that is unique to children of first-generation immigrants, by virtue of their being caught in a world of their parents' culture of origin and their social experience in the United States. The book makes the case for three levels of adolescent crisis unique to this population, namely, the general developmental crisis experienced by all adolescents as articulated by developmental theories; the cultural identity crises experienced by ethnic minority persons as they encounter the layered racialization of American history; and, finally, the unique crisis that arises from conflicting cultural values and morals when first-generation immigrant parents, wanting to preserve native values, clash with their children, who seek belonging in the Western context in which they currently reside. The book traces the psychological, emotional, and social roots of the crisis. The authors, representing immigrants from different continents, portray the unique, ethnic minority challenges they encounter in coming to the US, exemplifying further the tri-level crisis. Finally, the book offers ways that parents can be proactive in helping their children navigate the potential tri-level crisis through ITAV (It Takes a Village) camps and family palavers.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this graduate project was to create a school-based small group curriculum for first-generation Hispanic immigrant students who have newly arrived to the country and have struggled to academically and emotionally adapt to their new environment and school system. The small group curriculum allows for students to set goals and expectations for themselves while fostering resilience. The research literature cites the need for proactive school counseling programs to address the distinctive needs of immigrant students; a population at high risk for school drop out. The small group is designed to be facilitated by a professional school counselor during seven weeks with the purpose of guiding students towards high school success and motivating them to achieve academic and personal goals.

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this counseling project is to shed light on the issues, lack of support, and challenges that immigrant families experience in schools, particularly in California. The project proposes a support group using Adlerian Theory, Culture Race Theory and Bandura's theory of self-efficacy. Immigrant parents in the group will have the opportunity to learn specific tools and skills that will enable them to support their children both within and outside of the school setting, while gaining a better sense of their experience within the acculturation process in a new environment."--Abstract, p. 1.

This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos are the fastest growing and largest minority group in the United States. In 2008, this group numbered over 47 million; by 2050, the population is expected to triple, reaching 133 million. Traditionally, Latinos have immigrated to large urban centers (e.g., New York, Los Angeles) that over long periods of time developed a complex infrastructure to receive new immigrants. Increasingly, new Spanish-speaking immigrants are moving into areas of the country previously unfamiliar to them. Although urban co-ethnic communities continue to be the destination of many newcomers, immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America in pursuit of low-skilled labor opportunities are settling in small towns and rural areas of the South and Midwest. This new demographic trend has resulted in the creation of the term "new growth communities," which refers to small rural areas that are now home to a small but rapidly growing Hispanic population. Unfortunately, these communities, which are now present in many states across the country (e.g., Illinois, North Carolina), lack the infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of Latino immigrants (e.g., access to health care, immigration assistance, and breaking down language barriers). The lack of an infrastructure and the lack of an established ethnic community to facilitate the assimilation of new immigrants present an ongoing challenge, especially in the area of Latino mental health. The volume focuses on dealing with systemic issues and on providing innovative ideas for development of infrastructure of services. This text will advance ways to understand and ameliorate mental health disparities both from research and experiential perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant adolescents account for an ever-increasing portion of middle school and high school populations. In addition to experiencing stress related to typical adolescent development, immigrant adolescents are exposed to immigration-related and acculturative stress, which can lead to compromised mental health (Takeuchi, Alegria, Jackson, & Williams, 2007). Unfortunately, immigrants as a group tend to underutilize mental health services due to a number of cultural and economic factors (Saechao et al., 2012). Schools offer an ideal setting for services that address immigrant student stress (Gonzalez, Eades, & Supple, 2014). Ethnic identity and school connectedness are two constructs that have been linked to positive psychosocial outcomes for immigrant and minority adolescents. In this study, I investigated the effectiveness of a school-based, short-term group counseling intervention for immigrant adolescents, consisting of five 60 minute sessions, that addressed acculturative stress and ethnic identity development in comparison to a nonintervention control group, based on measures of participants’ school connectedness, ethnic identity, and psychological adjustment (i.e., self-esteem and general distress). Additionally, I explored the role that an immigrant adolescent’s ethnic identity played in predicting psychological adjustment outcomes and in moderating intervention versus control group assignment. In total, 89 immigrant adolescents (44 in the intervention group and 35 in the nontreatment control group) from a variety of ethnic backgrounds at a single public high school in the Northeast participated in the study. One-way ANCOVA results indicated significantly better posttest measurements for both psychological adjustment measures (self-esteem and general distress) in the intervention group as compared to the control group, after adjusting for pretest measurements, however this was not the case for ethnic identity or school connectedness. A hierarchical multiple regression indicated that pretest ethnic identity was a significant predictor of higher posttest general distress, but that it did not significantly moderate the relationship between group assignment and posttest general distress. The results of this study suggest that the group counseling intervention is promising, particularly in terms of improving psychological adjustment above and beyond non-treatment. Further investigation regarding how counselors and educators can address and improve school connectedness is recommended. Ethnic identity appears to have important links to positive psychological adjustment, but it is a complex construct that may require more holistic and culturally-appropriate forms of measurement for immigrant adolescents. I have delineated the goals and strategies of the intervention so that they may inform future practice.

To order the Enhanced Pearson eText packaged with the loose-leaf version, use ISBN 0134019644. This authoritative book looks at the consultation process as a collaborative, problem-solving endeavor designed to help practitioners assist others in their work with students who have, or are at risk for, behavioral or learning problems. With a focus on having consultants bridge the gap between research and practice in schools, and on striving to initiate evidence-based practices whenever possible, the authors stress providing interventions that are proportional to the student's needs. They look at how, through data-based systems-change, schools are redistributing their resources along MultiTiered Systems of Support (MTSS) so those in greatest need receive the most intensive help. The premise is that MTSS, which includes Response to Intervention (RtI) and School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) requires collaborative consultation to be successful. Throughout the book, numerous activities and video vignettes promote consultation skills. Readers not only read about conducting a problem-solving interview or managing a student in a crisis, they also observe and role-play the consultation skills involved in seeking a successful resolution. The Enhanced Pearson eText features embedded video and activities.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this project is to assist Professional High School Counselors (PSC) with their interactions with first-generation Latino immigrant students. The focus of this project is to help PSC detect signs of homesickness and trauma that occur when migrating to a new country. There will also be a focus on refugee trauma and resources and tools for PSC to use as intervention with students. When students experience homesickness, trauma, and detachment they can experience symptoms such as depression or anxiety that new arrival students experience as they enter a new school environment. When immigrants experience homesickness this results in negative consequences in school such as less learning and assimilation. Once children or adults migrate to a new country it is important to acquire assistance to properly assimilate during the transition period because many experience difficulties and hardships. The purpose of this project is to bring PSC awareness on how to assist and build a safe environment for first-generation Latino immigrant students as well as using preventative methods to avoid any hardships such as dropping out from school. The assistance from educators will determine the success or failure of first-generation Latino immigrant students in their new environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of immigration on children is life-long. Latino immigrant youth represent a rapidly growing segment of the United States population. Few studies have explored the ways in which they experience the process of moving to a new country and adjusting to a new culture. This study examined the immigration and acculturation experiences of 23 immigrant Latino children in order to provide a descriptive understanding and conceptualization of the stress they face in the process of acculturation. Participants completed individual interviews or focus groups. Transcriptions of the interviews were analyzed utilizing content analysis and multiple reading analysis methodologies. The children identified pre-migration factors such as loss and multiple separations as stressful. Challenging post-migration factors included adaptation to new school system, learning a new language, coping with racism, and managing new family dynamics. Results highlight a number of general stressors faced by most participants such as concerns about the health of their parents and siblings, the well being of family members left in the country of origin, and typical conflict with peers. Stressors specific to the acculturation process centered on the acquisition of English language skills, making friends of diverse backgrounds, and worries about deportation. Participants reported using a variety of coping strategies and accessing available resources. The children's stories convey themes of ambivalence surrounding their appraisal of the events they lived through, variability in their evaluation of where their locus of control lies, a highly behavioral definition of the cultural conflict they experience, and a fluid grasp of cultural orientation. Overall, it is evident that the acculturative process faced by immigrant children is complex and stressful, characterized by unremitting conflict and intricate dynamics of coping and adaptation. Though resilient and resourceful, the stressors can exceed their coping resources. This emphasizes the importance of early identification of children experiencing acculturation stress and development of prevention programs to support and facilitate the acculturation process in order to ensure successful adjustment by fostering resilience, decreasing the number of stressors, and increasing the range of coping skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directly applicable to practice, Group Activities for Latino/a Youth allows helping professionals such as human service workers, social workers, and school and community mental health counselors to select and apply a series of group sessions with topics relevant to today’s Latino/a youth. Each session contains detailed directions, suggested discussion questions, and additional readings on specific topics, with topic examples including grief, identity development, and conflict resolution. Sessions draw on Latino/a cultural norms and strengths to build culturally-informed communication and coping skills in an effort to improve educational, social, and career outcomes. A developmental perspective is used, and sessions are designed to be creative and interactive in order to appeal to the high energy and playfulness of youth at any age. Group Activities for Latino/a Youth helps professionals to better engage and retain Latino/a clients, a group that traditionally experiences one of the largest drop-out rates in therapy, often due to interventions largely informed by dominant Anglo norms and traditions.

Book excerpt: First-generation Latino/a student enrollment in U.S. Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) is increasing. However, first-generation Latino/a students' ability to persist and graduate from PWIs has been and continues to be a pressing concern. The climate of the PWI campus caters to the prevailing norms and practices of white students and likely contributes to first-generation Latino/a students’ experiences of acculturative stress on the college campus. This phenomenological research study explored the acculturative stress experienced by first-generation Latino/a students attending PWIs, as well as their subsequent coping responses to this stress. Study findings revealed several on- and off-campus causes of acculturative stress and several coping responses, some of which were more successful than others. Recommendation for PWI policy and practices are offered.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine how negative acculturation experiences such as psychological, environmental, acculturation barriers affect educational attainment among Latino youth. This study will seek to answer how acculturation issues affect educational attainment among high school Latino youth. The role of acculturation among Latino youth forms part of their development as they attempt to gain autonomy. The pressure to sustain cultural expectations leads Latino youth to encounter interpersonal challenges when attempting to sustain familial expectations and integrate into society. The process of acculturation affects the family as a whole. Parents of Latino youth are having difficulty with their parenting skills when they experience negative acculturation. Furthermore, their aversive parenting skills can cause a rift between them and their children, which then distracts their children from school activities. It must be noted however, this study focused on families who were also facing low economic status that can provide alternative reasons for a deterioration of parenting skills and their child's educational attainment.

Book excerpt: "First-generation Latino students are underrepresented on college campuses due to lack of support, underutilization of services, lack of understanding about the college process, and other factors. Since these students are the first in their family to pursue a college education, many of their parents lack the understanding to appropriately support the academic and emotional needs of their child. Research has demonstrated that the Latino population utilizes public services at much lower rates and has higher levels of stress due to their first-generation Latino status. Research also consistently discusses the importance of familismo within the Latino culture, which helps drive the need to include the family on the educational and emotional journey of the student. This project consists of a research- and-theory-based counseling intervention with eight psycho-educational workshops targeting key issues for first-generation Latino students and their parents.
