This book was released on 2020 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The Latino population continues to be on the rise in the United States, along with mental health services. Mental health stigma is an additional barrier for Latino adults to seek and access mental health services, among other barriers. Identifying factors that decrease mental health stigma among this population can help bridge this gap. Research Question: What are the factors that contribute to reduce the mental health stigma among Latino adults? Methods: A Systematic Literature Review was completed. Results: Findings suggested that adapting a study's approach with the participants culture and language could assist to change the attitudes towards mental health among Latino adults. In addition, offering different mental health service approaches to Latinos could assist for Latinos to participate in services (e.g. telephone, online, face to face) and decrease their mental health stigma. Finally, community-based settings have played a key role in Latinos accessing mental health services. Discussion: Based on the results, it is important to acknowledge possible adjustments that the mental health field and social workers could apply to help decrease the mental health stigma among Latino adults.

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.

Download or read book Mental Health Service Utilization in Latino College Students written by Kelly Whaling and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature suggests that mental illness, particularly depression and trauma, is extremely prevalent in Latino populations, with low rates of psychological service use. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that would decrease or increase the use of mental health services in Latino populations. The data for this thesis came from: (1) 563 Latino college students were sampled via a confidential, online survey at a Southern California university; and (2) 90 Latino college students who participated in eight focus groups. Results correspond to prior literature, as only 21.0% of survey respondents stated they may want to receive counseling in the future, and participants endorsed many negative attitudes toward psychological help. Participants who were interviewed suggested that the barriers that keep Latinos from seeking services include stigma, time, finances, and cultural factors (e.g. espiritualismo, familismo, machismo/marianismo, confianza, etc). Participants suggested outreach via media (e.g. fliers, telenovelas, etc) to increase awareness of mental health services and decrease stigma regarding using mental health services, as a way to facilitate treatment. Implications for community leaders, educators, practitioners, and policy-makers will be discussed.

This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: This paper analyzes whether Latinos’ attitudes toward mental health services (MHS) serve as a protective factor or barrier to MHS utilization. Research question: How does income level, education level, affiliation with the Catholic religion, age, immigration status, and gender affect Latino’s attitudes toward mental health services. Methods: Through convenience sampling, data was collected using paper and pencil surveys at a Catholic church in rural Santa Paula, CA. Results: Analyses suggest that there is no significant gender difference in regards to Latinos’ perception of MHS helpfulness. Similarly, analyses of various demographic variables continuously counter the literature. Discussion: It is possible that by integrating MHS programs into churches, the rate of positive attitudes toward MHS might increase.

This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America's increasingly diverse society, it is imperative that mental health providers prioritize the development of their cultural competence to assure that they are equipped to meet the needs of their clients. Cultural Considerations in Latino American Mental Health offers a broad array of perspectives from clinicians and researchers actively working with racially and ethnically diverse populations. This book addresses psychosocial cultural issues that impact the mental health of the growing Latino American population. Topics discussed include relevant socio-demographic variables for Latinos and the implications of the steadily increasing Latino population in the United States; cultural values, acculturation, and acculturative stress in the lives of Latino adolescents; culturally responsive intervention of depression in Latino adolescents; depression across the lifespan; and cultural factors in the development of substance abuse issues in the Latino adolescent population. This book is a must-read for mental health clinicians, students, community workers, school counselors, and nurses who work with diverse populations.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanic families may experience numerous barriers to physical and mental health care and tend to underutilize mental health services (Haack et al., 2018; Umpierre et al., 2015). English proficiency and cultural factors related to perceptions of mental health may impact the likelihood of Hispanic families seeking professional help for child mental health concerns (Alvarado & Modesto-Lowe, 2017; Eiraldi et al., 2006). The present study examined parental attitudes towards seeking professional help for child mental health concerns as well as possible differences in help-seeking for child mental (i.e., ADHD and depression) and physical health (i.e., stomach flu) concerns. Fifty-one Hispanic immigrant parents (40 mothers, 11 fathers; Mage = 35.62 years, SD= 8.19) completed measures to assess parental attitudes toward psychological help-seeking, likelihood to seek help for child physical and mental health concerns from formal and informal sources, and their level of familyism, religiosity, and acculturation. Participants indicated a higher likelihood to seek help from informal sources than from formal sources for both child mental and physical health conditions. Additionally, participants were more likely to seek help for a child's physical health condition than for mental health concerns. These results speak of the need to examine the process of help-seeking for Hispanic parents regarding mental health concerns in their children as well as the influence of other factors in their help-seeking process, including acculturation, familyism, and religiosity. Understanding these relationships can guide clinicians in identifying and problem-solving treatment barriers.

Download or read book Exploring how Stigma Informed by Cultural Norms Impact Latino Parents' Decisions to Seek Mental Health Treatment for Their Children written by Araceli Gutierrez and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: Mental health utilization disparities exist among ethnic minorities. Much research has been conducted on the barriers to accessing services. However, research is still needed to understand why certain barriers to seeking help exist among ethnic minorities, especially related to stigma and cultural norms. Stigma has been noted to be a barrier for access to mental health care. In addition, culture has been found to significantly influence views on mental illness and plays a crucial role in the way people perceive mental health and stigma and their decision to seek services and treatment. Although there is ample research on both barriers exclusively, much research is still needed on how stigma and culture interconnect and influence one another. Furthermore, research is scarce in regards to how Latino parents are affected by stigma and cultural norms and how said factors impact their decisions to seek mental health treatment for their children. Hypothesis: How does stigma informed by cultural norms impact Latino parents' decisions to seek mental health treatment for their children? Methods: Participants of the study must have been 18 years of age or older and be of Latino descent. In addition, participants had to be U.S. citizens or immigrants that have been residing in the U.S. for 5 or more years. There were a total of 44 participants in the study. Results: The study was able to find a correlation and a statistical significance between religion and how it influences parents' understanding of how to deal with their child's mental health issues. The study found a correlation between the questions related to religion and seeking behavior. The results are important because it demonstrates the importance the role religion plays in seeking mental health services. Discussion: These results reveal that children of Latino parents may not be receiving the help and services they need with religion being a barrier in their parent's decision to seek services. The results of this study support previous research in that minority families may rely on alternative sources such as religious leaders when seeking mental health services. This can pose an issue in the child's development because instead of seeking and obtaining professional help, Latino parents are likely obtaining mental health services from religious leaders that may not have the professional capacity and training to provide proper care and service.
