Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to bring awareness and understanding on how to address cultural stigma on mental health treatment to Latinx parents, Latino male adolescents, and school counselors. Focus will be on the importance of mental health illnesses, the effects, and how to properly address and intervene in a school setting. Mental health illnesses are growing issues today among this population and ultimately are being left ignored and undetected because students do not feel comfortable addressing them due to values and beliefs they've grown up with. Parents are expected to engage in this program and learn how to identify and address mental health issues that may be occurring in their student's live, which in turn can help break the stigma associated with receiving treatment. With the knowledge gained from this portion of the project, counselors will learn about the importance of Latinx cultural values and beliefs and gain skills on how to best serve this population of students.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this project was to design a program, identify a funding source, and write a grant to fund a methamphetamine treatment program for adolescents. An extensive review of the literature was performed to identify the unique needs of Latino families, specifically Latino males. The literature documents the need for substance use treatment that caters to the unique cultural experiences Latino adolescents face. A search was carried out to identify a funder for a substance use treatment program for Latino adolescent males and their parents in Long Beach, California. SAMHSA was chosen as the best match for the proposed program. The goal of this program is to prevent and reduce methamphetamine use among Latino adolescent males and strengthen familial ties through educating the adolescents and parents about methamphetamine and factors that influence addiction. The actual submission of the proposal was not a requirement for this thesis project.

This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A team of expert academics and practitioners examines the life circumstances that impact Latino/a youth growing up in two cultures—their native culture and that of the United States. What effect does growing up in an ethnic minority and perhaps in an immigrant family have on development? That is the overarching question Latina and Latino Children's Mental Health sets out to answer. The work examines all of the myriad physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that undermine or support healthy development in Latino American children, from biology to economics to public policy. The first volume of this two-volume set focuses on early-life experiences and the second on youth/adolescent issues, treating such topics as children's development of a sense of self, development of linguistic skills, peer relationships, sexual orientation, and physical development. The work analyzes familial relationships, often an important resource that helps young people build resilience despite the stresses of migration. And it looks at patterns of behavior, social status, and social-goal orientations that differentiate Latino/a children and adolescents from their African American and European American peers.

Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.

Book excerpt: Latino men and boys in the United States are confronted with a wide variety of hardships that are not easily explained or understood. They are populating prisons, dropping out of high school, and are becoming overrepresented in the service industry at alarming degrees. Young Latino men, especially, have among the lowest wages earned in the country, a rapidly growing rate of HIV/AIDS, and one of the highest mortality rates due to homicide. Although there has been growing interest in the status of men in American society, there is a glaring lack of research and scholarly work available on Latino men and boys. This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume, edited by renowned scholars Pedro Noguera, Aída Hurtado and Edward Fergus addresses the dearth of scholarship and information about Latino men and boys to further our understanding of the unique challenges and obstacles that they confront during this historical moment. The contributors represent a cross section of disciplines from health, criminal justice, education, literature, psychology, economics, labor, sociology and more. By drawing attention to the sweeping issues facing this segment of the population, this volume offers research and policy a set of principles and overarching guidelines for decreasing the invisibility and thus the disenfranchisement of Latino men and boys.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirit, mind, and heart—in traditional Mexican health beliefs all three are inherent to maintaining psychological balance. For Mexican Americans, who are both the oldest Latina/o group in the United States as well as some of the most recent arrivals, perceptions of health and illness often reflect a dual belief system that has not always been incorporated in mental health treatments. Chicana and Chicano Mental Health offers a model to understand and to address the mental health challenges and service disparities affecting Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans/Chicanos. Yvette G. Flores, who has more than thirty years of experience as a clinical psychologist, provides in-depth analysis of the major mental health challenges facing these groups: depression; anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder; substance abuse; and intimate partner violence. Using a life-cycle perspective that incorporates indigenous health beliefs, Flores examines the mental health issues affecting children and adolescents, adult men and women, and elderly Mexican Americans. Through case studies, Flores examines the importance of understanding cultural values, class position, and the gender and sexual roles and expectations Chicanas/os negotiate, as well as the legacies of migration, transculturation, and multiculturality. Chicana and Chicano Mental Health is the first book of its kind to embrace both Western and Indigenous perspectives. Ideally suited for students in psychology, social welfare, ethnic studies, and sociology, the book also provides valuable information for mental health professionals who desire a deeper understanding of the needs and strengths of the largest ethnic minority and Hispanic population group in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counselors and educators are advocates for understanding ourselves, multiculturalism, and diversity in a societal climate of division. Provided the recent political coup and exclusion ideology, Latino Male students are marginalized because of cultural identity (Machismo) and cultural values. Due to the controversial nature of Machismo, masculinity, and language with Latino Males, multicultural educators are constantly silenced in universities by political correctness and censorship. Specifically, Latino Males are a direct target for incidences of racism, microaggressions, and oppression in our society. Colleges, universities, and counseling field has been moving forward slowly in its scope of “inclusion advocacy” for Latino Male students. There is a dearth in the empirical research on Latino Male experiences of otherness, indifference, and exclusion. The proposed textbook will establish viable, strategies to deepen cultural competence and inclusion advocacy. A competent framework for engagement is desperately needed in areas of inclusion, advocacy, and social justice for Latino Males. The convergence of sociopolitical views on diverse relationships has ignited an era of unrest, exclusion ideology, and remnants of mental distress and trauma in Latino communities. The textbook/reader will specifically address the issues of Latino Male Machismo in colleges and universities. The authors will produce a variety of important readings (chapters) about Latino Male students, Otherness, and strategies for cultural inclusion of identity, values, and practices. The potential contributions from this research will provide a foundation for implementing innovative, inclusion programs for Latinx students as well. To further add content, critical incidences of bias, discrimination, otherness, and exclusion will be addressed in a manner that promotes a new form of connectedness for Latino Males in colleges and universities. The intended audience for this textbook/reader are counselor educators, student affairs professionals, counselors, and university counselors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to develop a music therapy group manual to aid the Latino/Hispanic male adolescent to explore and develop his identity. This manual includes six music therapy group sessions that will enhance the Latino/Hispanic male adolescent's ability to explore the issues he faces during the adolescent developmental stage. The group participant will explore his feelings, identity, and cultural values and explore the struggles that are presented in the adolescent developmental stage. Furthermore, this manual should help those professional and non-professional mental health workers learn and have a better understanding of the struggles the Latino/Hispanic male adolescent may face. This should also allow those working with the Latino/Hispanic male adolescent population to be more sensitive to the needs of the Latino/Hispanic male adolescent.

Book excerpt: How can psychology contribute to our understanding of Hispanics in the United States? Edited by Amado M. Padilla, Hispanic Psychology offers students, researchers, and practitioners the most contemporary and complete view of psychological writings available today. The topics tackled by a team of social scientists include adaptation to a new culture in the United States, the role of the family in acculturation, ethnic identification for Hispanics, health and mental health service and research needs of Hispanics, and changing gender roles in Hispanic culture. This volume examines such complex subjects as Chicano male gang members, homeless female AIDS victims, and educational resiliency of students with authority and perceptivity. This book brings together diverse psychological issues that will spark an interest in anyone wishing to have a current perspective on the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. "Libraries serving graduate students in the areas of psychology, education, child development, or Latino studies should find this book helpful." --Choice "The growing presence and relevance of ethnic and cultural issues in many mental health disciplines has a cogent demonstration in this handsome volume. The strength of this volume is in its well-conceived and realized research studies. Indeed, the "new scholarship" of conceptual models, measurement instruments, and interpretive approaches, drawing heavily on the social context in which Hispanics live, gives this book a prominent place among its peers. This volume will become a landmark in the task of defining the realities and the fate of Hispanics in the United States of the twenty-first century." --Renato D. Alacrón in Transcultural Psychiatric Research Review

This book was released on 2012 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data were collected from a sample of 360 Latino high school students in their 9th and 10th grade classrooms from three high schools in Southern California. The purpose of the study was to examine: (a) the relationship between peer victimization and Latino adolescents' mental health (i.e., anxiety and depression), (b) whether having support from a close friend moderates the relationship between peer victimization and mental health, and (c) whether close friend support moderates the relationship between peer victimization and mental health similarly for boys and girls. Consistent with previous literature, significant direct paths were found relating peer victimization to elevated generalized anxiety and depressive symptoms in both Latino boys and girls. Close friend support was not significantly related to mental health (i.e., anxiety, depression) and did not moderate the relationship between peer victimization and mental health. Lack of moderation was also seen when looking at gender, thus suggesting that victimized boys and girls are equally unprotected by close friend support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population in the United States continues to grow and now represents 12% of the population. Yet, remarkably little attention has been paid to understanding parenting and child development processes among Latino families. Although research on Latino parenting is beginning to emerge, the field is in need of further structure and direction. This volume addresses this need and advances the field both by presenting state-of-the-art research on Latino parenting and also by proposing conceptual and methodological frameworks that can provide the field with further integration and direction. In addition to presenting innovative research examining parental beliefs and practices of Latino families from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, authors provide frameworks for identifying the origins of these beliefs and practices, and provide a rich picture of both the values that can be considered Latino and the social and demographic normative and at-risk Latino samples. Finally, methodological and conceptual recommendations for future research on each cited area, as well as the field, are presented.

This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite similar vulnerability to mental illness as the general population, adults within the Latinx community often do not receive treatment for severe mental illnesses. Latinx communities face health disparities and lack of access to mental healthcare due to language barriers, lack of health insurance coverage, lack of cultural competence from healthcare practitioners, and more. It is essential to promote positive mental health practices within the Latinx community and to educate healthcare practitioners in cultural competence. Latinx Mental Health: From Surviving to Thriving focuses on the research and practical experiences that foster cultural resilience and strength. Rather than advocating for an assimilative model of coping, this book focuses on the way that Latinx issues can be studied and addressed in a culturally and linguistically appropriate way. This publication seeks to inspire a new generation of mental health researchers and practitioners to engage with the Latinx population in a strength-based way. Covering topics such as LGBTQ+ Latinxs, health disparities, and intergenerational trauma, this premier reference work is an excellent resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, sociologists, government officials, healthcare professionals, students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
