“…Research conducted on recent Latino/a migrants to the USA found that the trauma migrant children have experienced in their home countries can combine with the trauma of migration to increase the likelihood that these children will develop serious mental health problems and acute behavioral issues (American Psychological and Presidential Task Force on Immigration 2012). Few studies exist regarding the experience of undocumented youth who migrated from Central America to areas of the world other than the USA (Mason 2014;Rocha and Coronado 2014).…”

In 2014, 53,518 unaccompanied immigrant youth, predominantly from Central America, arrived in the USA. By mid-2015, over 12,000 had already arrived (Office of Refugee Resettlement 2015). Despite experiencing a myriad of risk factors and challenges, these children display remarkable resiliency. An important component of this resiliency which, in turn, enhances the well-being of these populations, is the maintenance of hope. This paper reports on a study conducted in spring 2013 on the presence of hope among 138 unaccompanied immigrant children, ages 9-18, receiving services from 20 affiliates of a family reunification program in 12 states in the USA. The study found that children reported a high level of hope on the Children's Hope Scale (Snyder et al., New York Free Press 1994; Psychological Inquiry 13(4):249, 2002). This article reports on these findings and discusses their implications for policy, practice, and research.
