Description
Clinical interventions for Hispanic immigration school aged children, what we need to know about their Immigration and migration trauma
Immigrant Latin/Hispanic youth are at a heightened risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other psychological issues due to their migration experiences. Hispanic students who relocate to the United States encounter inadequate support within the public education system. The traumatic journey from their homeland to a new location presents significant challenges regarding the mental health resources offered in schools and limits access to clinical assistance. Moreover, Latin/Hispanic youth migrating to the U.S. continue to experience adverse situations both during and after their settlement, including poverty, language barriers, economic strains, parental separation due to loss or persecution, imprisonment, and a disconnect from their cultural heritage, all of which hinder their integration into the local community.
It is expected that all students should receive equivalent support from school systems regarding mental health services. However, this capstone presentation emphasizes the research available on current clinical approaches targeting Hispanic immigrant students. It examines the existing school policies and the difficulties faced by immigrant students in the United States. The significance of this research arises from documented evidence of the challenges Latin/Hispanic immigrant students encounter while pursuing equitable education and the research-informed clinical strategies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, that practitioners are utilizing to improve the mental health of these students.
