“…When determining what topic to introduce, it was essential to research how to address issues congruent with the lived experiences of Latinx adolescents-more specifically, Latino male adolescents. The research regarding group therapy with Latino male adolescents is limited, and thus it was essential to include other works to assist with group planning (Malott & Paone, 2013;Millán & Chan, 1991;Torres Rivera et al, 2014). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2017), Latino male high school adolescents and non-Latino Whites are just as likely to report suicidal thinking (10.7% vs. 10.5%), and more prone to attempt suicide (6.9% vs. 4.6%).…”

“…As the group facilitator, asking clients to create and share their testimonio is a task that must be done compassionately and respectfully. For example, because the group members in this case were young Latino men, normalizing the creating and sharing process of testimonio work as well as being culturally aware and sensitive were salient when asking members to share experiences that might be painful (Arredondo et al, 2014;Malott & Paone, 2013;Millán & Chan, 1991;Torres Rivera et al, 2014). As the group facilitator attempting to use testimonios as an intervention with clients, I needed to be aware of my intersecting identities and how they might influence the working alliance between the members and myself.…”

T o be a witness to a testimonio requires solidarity, humility, and empathy.Testimonios are "a verbal journey of a witness who speaks to reveal the racial, classed, gendered, and nativist injustices they have suffered as a means of healing, empowerment, and advocacy for a more human present and future" (Perez Huber, 2009, p. 644). Testimonios empower individuals from the margins or the subaltern experience to reclaim their voice and recognize their resiliency (Delgado Bernal, Burciaga, & Flores Carmona, 2012). Historically, the purpose of testimonios was to document oppressed experiences and, more important, to challenge oppressive conditions (Carrillo, Ender, & Perez, 2018). Those of us with marginalized and oppressed identities must find opportunities to recenter our experiences if we are to challenge racism, heterosexism, patriarchy, genderism, ableism, sizeism, and other "isms." The extent to which testimonios are salient for marginalized communities depends on the access and space provided for collaborative consciousness-raising and critical dialogue (Latina Feminist Group, 2001). In the absence of access to testimonios or areas to share them, the memories become more challenging and painful for individuals' personal, emotional, and experiential being (Delgado Bernal et al., 2012). We, as clinicians, must be the agents of change in how we offer therapeutic services from a culturally responsive manner.Given the empowerment premise of the genre, testimonios are a political approach that also incorporates cultural, social, historical, and political stories intersecting with an individual's life experience (Delgado Bernal et al., 2012). As our lived experiences continue to shape our being, we must recognize the Testimonios

This article discusses a group counseUng model specifically targeted for Mexican American adolescents with behavior problems including substance abuse. An integrated model is proposed, with the model assumptions clearly articulated and specific therapeutic goals addressed in a culturally responsive manner. Foci of the model are ethnic identity, affective expression, and life choices. Preliminary findings indicate that the youths are retained in the groups at a higher rate than predicted.To live in the Borderlands means you are neither hispana india negra espanola ni gabacha, eres mestiza, mulata. half-breed caught in the crossfire between camps while carrying all five races on your back not knowing which side to turn to, run from: To survive the Borderlands you must live sin fronteras be a crossroads. -Gloria Anzaldua (1987)This article presents a group counseling model developed for Mexican American adolescents with behavior problems including substance abuse. We have chosen to use the term Mexican American recognizing that other terms for ethnicity are applicable. The model is devised to be culturally responsive because culture becomes the foreground rather than the backdrop for the group process. The intervention focuses on the affirmation and clariflcation of ethnic idenLou-M. Baca is an assistant directorfor the University Counseling Centm and Joan D.
