Given how many immigrants are in the United States, it is important for social service and behavioral health providers can work with immigrant families. This course will provide an overview of immigration issues that can arise during treatment such as cultural barriers, assimilation, acculturation, etc. Participants will learn strategies to partner with immigrant families more effectively. This workshop will provide an overview of acculturation, stages of acculturation, and biculturalism. We will also discuss strategies providers can use to support caregivers in raising culturally diverse youth.
