Pamela Rios
This workshop will cover the 4 thematic areas, ultimately enabling helping professionals to more effectively understand – and thus serve – Central American immigrant youth. These thematic areas are:
Theme 1: Context and background, including reasons for migration, push/pull factors, cultural contexts, trajectories of migration, and lived experiences on route to the U.S
Theme 2: Trauma exposure and resilience, including exposure to trauma in country of origin, trauma of prolonged separation, journey-related trauma, exposure to trauma in the U.S., including forced cultural distancing, sources of resilience and strength, cultural collectivism, etc.
Theme 3: Identity and acculturation, including bicultural identity development, assimilation vs. acculturation, social inclusion vs. exclusion, forced distancing from cultural heritage, reactions to sociocultural dynamics, and experiences of xenophobia, nativism and racism
Theme 4: School-based experiences and what to do about them, including power dynamics and “pecking orders,” experiences in U.S. public schools with peers and teachers, school-based identity messaging, and what to do next to create climates of in which bicultural identity development – and ultimately academic success and well-being – can occur.
