Culturally Responsive Family Intervention Models for At-Risk Immigrant Youth in The United States
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The youth immigrant can have an unfortunate experience with mental issues, academic performance, and conduct in the United States. Such issues are escalated further by the fact that support services fail to show acknowledgement to their cultural backgrounds. In this paper, family-based programs are considered, which are to fulfill the needs of immigrant families of the other cultures more specifically. A multiplicity of articles was analyzed in order to figure out what works best. The report indicates that programs have higher chances of being successful when they are adapted to suit the language, traditions, and values of the families. These are culturally responsive frameworks that allow families to remain engaged and have positive results on the young individuals. The effective programs are the ones that are community-based and that honor the traditional parenting styles. Nevertheless, the problem is not that overwhelming yet; it includes not enough financing, an insufficient supply of professionals who are trained to solve these problems, and poor governmental system support. This paper provides ideas on how to better policies, embrace further research, and educate the professionals, providing a better-serviced immigrant community. The changes should be made to guarantee that the immigrant youth receive equal and efficient means of support for their mental and emotional health.
