Growing up between worlds: supporting multicultural students (tcks)

Thursday October 31, 2024 2:26pm - 2:26pm CDT

The presenter will provide an in-depth exploration of multicultural children, often referred to as third culture kids. The session will cover various categories of multicultural children, including missionary kids, military dependents, children of diplomats, expatriate business families, and immigrant children.

These children commonly encounter unique challenges related to their diverse backgrounds and the pressures they face during their upbringing. They often experience significant grief from the losses associated with frequent relocations, including friendships, cultural norms, and familiar foods. It is essential for these children to learn effective ways to process their grief.

Barriers to processing their experiences may include societal pressures to portray their lives as ideal, family reluctance to acknowledge past traumas, and external perceptions that label their experiences as merely privileged.

Finally, the presenter will offer strategies for fostering understanding and support for multicultural children, along with practical solutions to address their needs both in educational settings and therapeutic envIironments.

Que ansia: Anxiety in Latinos

Thursday October 31, 2024 2:26pm - 2:26pm CDT

Anxiety disorders are very common and affect many people around the world. Learning about anxiety, known as psychoeducation, is an important part of managing it. When people understand their anxiety, they feel more in control, experience less shame, and can develop better coping skills.

For Latinos, anxiety can show up in ways that connect to their cultural background. Challenges like financial stress, adjusting to a new culture, and not having access to mental health services that respect their culture can make anxiety worse. This can affect their well-being, relationships, and how they function day-to-day.

Treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication, and culturally aware therapy that reflects their specific needs have proven to be effective. When both the mental and cultural sides of anxiety are considered, people experience better outcomes, especially in communities with fewer mental health resources.

Combining education, culturally respectful care, and proven treatments is key to helping Latinos and other underserved groups manage anxiety and live healthier lives.
