“…The program was developed by LHA promotores in partnership with a marriage and family therapist trained in narrative therapy. Narrative therapy recognizes participants as authors of their own stories, in which we are all participants in each other’s stories ( 10 ) and empowers people to write a new story as a process to overcome the inequities and oppressions of the dominant social narrative ( 11 ). In this way, narrative therapy can link people with similar stories, joining their voices together in shared purpose to improve their mental and emotional well-being ( 10 ).…”

“…In this way, narrative therapy can link people with similar stories, joining their voices together in shared purpose to improve their mental and emotional well-being ( 10 ). Narrative therapy has demonstrated success in overcoming stigma associated with therapy and social position because it centers the person rather than imposing a hierarchy, with the counselor as expert ( 11 ). A unique feature of LHA’s program is that it is facilitated by promotores with ongoing training and support provided by a marriage and family therapist.…”

Introduction The disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Latino communities has resulted in greater reports of depression, anxiety, and stress. We present a community-led intervention in Latino communities that integrated social services in mental health service delivery for an equity-based response. Methods We used tracking sheets to identify 1,436 unique participants (aged 5–86) enrolled in Latino Health Access’s Emotional Wellness program, of whom 346 enrolled in the pre–COVID-19 period (March 2019–February 2020) and 1,090 in the COVID-19 period (March–June 2020). Demographic characteristics and types of services were aggregated to assess monthly trends using Pearson 𝜒 2 tests. Regression models were developed to compare factors associated with referrals in the pre–COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods. Results During the pandemic, service volume ( P < .001) and participant volume ( P < .001) increased significantly compared with the prepandemic period. Participant characteristics were similar during both periods, the only differences being age distribution, expanded geographic range, and increased male participation during the pandemic. Nonreferred services, such as peer support, increased during the pandemic period. Type of referrals significantly changed from primarily mental health services and disease management in the prepandemic period to affordable housing support, food assistance, and supplemental income. Conclusion An effective mental health program in response to the pandemic must incorporate direct mental health services and address social needs that exacerbate mental health risk for Latino communities. This study presents a model of how to integrate both factors by leveraging promotor -led programs.

“…More recent psychological frameworks for healing from intersectional forms of oppression (i.e., racial trauma, antiimmigrant hostility) also highlight the importance of dialogues for critical consciousness to promote healing and empowerment (Chavez-Dueñas & Adames 2021; Chavez-Dueñas et al, 2019; French et al, 2020; Steinmetz, 2020). Lastly, there is growing evidence suggesting that dialogical approaches can facilitate psychological healing among immigrants (Chung et al, 2011; Farrell & Gibbons, 2019).…”

Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: Research suggests that antiimmigrant policies enacted in the United States, magnified during the 2016-2020 period, propagate widespread trauma across communities of immigrants (von Werthern et al., 2018). While these policies harm all groups of immigrants, structural conditions (e.g., lack of documentation status, race, ethnicity, country of origin, and other social and legal determinants) shape how they are experienced. To address the widespread traumatic harm inflicted by racist and xenophobic policies, a group of leaders from eight Divisions of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the National Latinx Psychological Association (NLPA) launched an Interdivisional Immigration Project (IIP). Method: The IIP served to develop a model for collaborative advocacy, bringing together mental health providers (i.e., psychologists, social workers), allied professionals, and immigration activists from community organizations across the country. This model was developed over the course of 1 year, coinciding with the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the amplified movement for racial justice. Results: This article describes the key components of the IIP collaborative advocacy model: (a) structuring leadership in a democratic and egalitarian manner, (b) centering and uplifting immigrant voices, (c) forming teams across five U.S. regions, (d) facilitating critical dialogues grounded in liberatory practices, (e) centering trauma and empowerment, and (f) developing advocacy strategies. The IIP collaborative advocacy model is informing advocacy to protect immigrants from harm. Discussion: This model may be used as the basis for ongoing humane immigration policy activism that centers the voices of community activists, and that pushes psychologists and allied professionals to use their positionality to support community-based efforts. Clinical Impact StatementThe current manuscript describes a model of collaborative immigration advocacy developed through the Interdivisional Immigration Project (IIP). The IIP is an initiative that involved leaders from several divisions of the American Psychological Association (APA), the National Latinx Psychological Association (NLPA), and leaders from immigrant activist community organizations across the country. The model may be used by providers of health and mental health services to collaborate with community activists. Collaborative advocacy that is community-based and aimed at supporting humane immigration policies may help prevent further trauma stemming from policies that target and harm immigrants.

“…Terapi naratif memandang bahwa setiap manusia dapat memperoleh makna hidupnya sendiri dari berbagai pengalaman yang berkaitan dengan konteks sosial, budaya, dan politik (Ghavibazou et al 2020). Terapi naratif secara aktif dan sensitif menyesuaikan praktik dengan mempertimbangkan perbedaan lintas budaya atau konselor yang menerapkan terapi naratif harus memodifikasi dan bahkan terkadang menciptakan bentuk narasi sesuai budaya kliennya (Hutto and Gallagher 2017) atau selama proses terapi naratif, klien diarahkan dapat mengeksplorasikan masalahnya sesuai dengan nilai-nilai klien (Ricks et al 2014), selain itu tujuan terapi naratif yaitu menciptakan kogruen dan cerita yang yang berkaitan dengan budaya dan lingkungan sosial klien (Farrell and Gibbons 2019). Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan terapi naratif berdasarkan unsur-unsur budaya klien.…”
