Despite evidence showing Latinos to be among the fastest growing populations in the US, very little attention has been given to practice with Latino individuals, families, and communities. Beginning with a comprehensive definition and demographic map of Latinos, Latino culture, and a cultural asset paradigm, this book identifies strategies for designing culturally relevant programs and services. Chapters highlight health and social concerns including issues surrounding gender, religion, language, immigration, substance abuse, and health conditions. More importantly, the chapters also outline a practice framework that places cultural assets at the center. The book provides a rich paradigm for understanding perspectives on culture, access, assets, and how they intersect to inform best practices. The step-by-step framework guides through six stages: pre-contact assessment, initial contact and asset identification, resource mapping, relationship building, intervention, and evaluation. Each stage is heavily grounded in theoretical and socio-political considerations with particular attention to thinking critically about selecting best practices and how to sustain an evidence-based practice.
