“…Despite the challenges, Latinx have many unique strengths. Adames and Chavez-Duenãs (2017) One such example is the development of self-advocacy skills among Latinx with disabilities (see Balcazar et al, 2001).…”

“…Each character within the environment contributes to shaping the individual's own attitudes about disability, knowledge of disability, motivations, behavioral preferences, and expectations. However, Latinx immigrants occasionally leave part of their family support behind in their countries of origin, thus experiencing social isolation, which leads to greater susceptibility to mental health stressors (Adames & Chavez-Duenãs, 2017).…”

Individuals migrate to improve their wellbeing and quality of life, and often experience adverse situations, both during the process of migration and once within the host country. The purpose of this paper is to unpack the barriers to and facilitators of community participation, among Latinx immigrants with disabilities in the United States and Latinx migrant workers in Canada, following the Social Ecological Model. The authors draw from an appraisal of existing literature and their own participatory research with Latinx immigrants. Based on this integrative literature review, Latinx experience individual issues such as language barriers and lack of knowledge of the services available to them. At the community level they experience discrimination, limited opportunities for community participation, and lack of opportunities for meaningful employment. At the systemic and policy level in the United States, the antimigrant political environment keeps Latinx immigrants with disabilities from participating in their communities due to fear of deportation. In Canada, Latinx workers experience the paradox of migration and discrimination.

“…Y. Lee et al, 2018). The cultural value of personalismo highlights the importance of establishing meaningful and harmonious relationships (Adames & Chavez-Dueñas, 2016). Father-inclusive parenting programs may provide a safe space for building meaningful relationships with other adolescent parents that can lead to an increase in willingness and capacity for confianza, or trust, when disclosing personal experiences (Parra-Cardona et al, 2006).…”

Using a life course theory perspective, this qualitative descriptive study explored how Hispanic adolescent fathers view fatherhood, and how their perception of parenthood is shaped by critical life events. Hispanics are one of the largest ethnic groups, as well as one of the populations that is overrepresented in adolescent births in the United States. Despite this, Hispanic adolescent fathers are understudied and underrepresented in research. Participants were recruited from a community-based fatherhood program. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Hispanic fathers, ages 16 years to 23 years. Participants conveyed their grief over fragmented family relationships and limited interactions with their own father. Some lived in hostile environments where they frequently experienced racism, discrimination, and neighborhood violence. The cumulative impact of these events resulted in substance use and emotional distress. Becoming a father was a sentinel event that helped resolve negative perceptions about fatherhood. Fatherhood also motivated participants towards a more productive, meaningful life.

“…Studies have also demonstrated that immigrant adults are emotionally taxed following deportations and the threat of deportations in their communities; associated anxiety and psychological stress has been linked to cardiovascular risk factors (Brabeck et al., ; Martinez, Ruelas, & Granger, ; Torres et al., ). Immigrant children living in communities where immigration raids have taken place feel abandoned, isolated, fearful, traumatized, and depressed (Adames & Chavez‐Dueñas, ; Capps, Castañeda, Chaudry, & Santos, ). Moreover, children—regardless of immigration status—experience fear and shame regarding deportation, which impacts their sense of self and well‐being (Dreby, ).…”

“…Therefore, deportation policies and procedures affect a much larger percentage of US citizens by association. Several studies provide evidence that the forcible separation of a family is associated with negative psychosocial effects for children and other family members (Adames & Chavez‐Dueñas, ; Capps et al., ; Chaudhary et al., ; Dreby, ; Hagan et al., ; National Council of La Raza, ). Indeed, we would expect the effects to be severe for these families since separation is not by choice and often occurs suddenly and unexpectedly, with little preparation or planning (Brabeck et al., ; Dreby, ).…”
