“…School can be a safe haven for Latino immigrants in rural areas (Gonzalez, 2011) and stimulate and enhance social connections. Adolescents mentioned supportive peers and positive relationships with adults in the school environment (Hall et al, 2016). This is a positive outcome as discrimination in the school context has been linked to increased depressive symptoms (Lopez, Lebrón, Graham & Gorgan-Kaylor, 2016).…”

“…This theme describes that positive peer social relationships in the school context can reduce depressive symptoms amongst Latino adolescents (Tummala-Narra 2015, Cupito et al, 2016). Along with peers, having a positive relationship with an adult at school who is perceived as a good listener has shown to reduce the occurrence of suicide attempts and ideation (Hall et al 2016). However, a study found that adolescents are more likely to seek help from family members than adults at school, possibly due to cultural norms (Tummala-Narra 2015).…”

“…Nativity status might contribute to other mental health related issues such as anxiety or substance abuse (Tummala-Narra, 2015). However, a study showed that foreign-born Latino adolescent girls were two times more likely to attempt suicide than their native-born peers (Hall et al, 2016).…”

There is limited research on mental health in rural Latino communities, particularly with adolescents. The aims of this study were to: 1) describe the evidence of social networks and mental health research in rural Latino communities and 2) illustrate themes related to the social networks and mental health depicted by rural Latino adolescents. A secondary data analysis study was performed, using data collected through semi-structured interviews (N=59) with adolescents, 11-17 years-old, living in three rural counties of North Florida. The interviews were conducted by community health workers (promotoras), in either Spanish or English; exploring family and community relations. NVivo 12 was used to aid in managing and thematically analyzing the data. Major themes were analyzed as Protective and Risk factors for mental health. A social network framework was then created under these themes including Family, School, Outside Community and Immigration Policy as main categories. The findings of this study highlight the need for mental health promotion interventions with rural Latino adolescents and can be used to influence future studies of social networks and mental health.

“…O suporte emocional -que também pode vir das parcerias com órgãos públicos, da iniciativa privada e da comunidadefunciona como fator protetivo. Este tipo de suporte pode ajudar os alunos que sofrem adversidades, minimizando riscos e maximizando a resiliência acadêmica, de modo a tornar os adolescentes capazes de atenuar riscos para o uso de drogas (Henry, Knight & Thornberry, 2012) e para o suicídio (Hall, Fullerton, FitzGerald & Green, 2018).…”

“…Nessa categoria, a concepção de como os profissionais pesquisados contribuem para a promoção da resiliência acadêmica passa pela disposição em conhecer a realidade do aluno, com a finalidade de promover o diálogo, ouvir, orientar, aconselhar, resolver problemas, compartilhar, dar apoio, buscar parcerias, etc. Os dados coletados revelam resultados que vão ao encontro da literatura vigente, que traz os procedimentos desejáveis para que haja uma boa prática em torno da resiliência e o seu fortalecimento (Allen, Rosas-Lee, Ortega, Hang, Pergament & Pratt, 2016;Hall, Fullerton, FitzGerald & Green, 2018;Southwick & Charney, 2018;Ungar, Connelly, Liebenberg & Theron, 2017).…”

O objetivo deste estudo, de natureza exploratória e descritiva, foi analisar a percepção de dez profissionais da educação sobre mecanismos promotores e fatores que dificultam a resiliência acadêmica no ensino fundamental. As informações foram obtidas utilizando-se um questionário. A análise dos dados foi pautada na abordagem qualitativa proposta por Bardin. Os resultados foram: a) mecanismos de proteção: diálogo, trabalho junto a órgãos de proteção, participação dos pais, inserção de um psicólogo no ambiente escolar; b) fatores de risco: problemas familiares, violência, questões financeiras, falta de amor à profissão e ao aluno. A escola estudada pode ser caracterizada como resiliente, reflexiva e dinâmica.

In this chapter, we review and summarize what is known about the familial, cultural, and community protective and risk factors for suicide attempts among Latina adolescents. We begin by describing epidemiological findings about the suicidal behaviors of Latina adolescents living in the United States, then briefly discuss the dominant theoretical frameworks and summarize research findings in this area of scholarship. Research has focused primarily on family functioning, explaining it in terms of culture and acculturation. Family closeness, communication, and harmony reduce the risk of suicide attempts, while family conflicts increase it. Experiences of violence at home (e.g., physical abuse) or at school (e.g., bullying) increase the risk of attempted suicide. The significance of cultural values, such as familism, and the role of acculturation in suicidal behaviors is complex, nuanced, and poorly understood. Despite numerous theoretical suggestions of the cultural basis of this phenomenon, there are no definitive answers about the intragroup dynamics shaping protections and risks for suicide attempts. To move the field forward, interdisciplinary and mixed methods research could compare the suicide attempts of different groups of teens to those of Latinas to identify universal and context-specific intervention targets.
