What Is His Recipe For Success In America?

The purpose of chapter 11 in Lum (2011) is to discuss cultural competence work with Latino Americans. The growth of the Latino population in the United States has been greatly increasing. As of 2008, 15.1% of the United States population is Latino. Some concerns that elderly Latinos may face are: “family roles, health, caregiving, end of life issues, protective factors, and effective interventions” (p. 309). Many of the Central American Latino grandparents have not completed high school, which has left them unemployed. Social workers who serve this group, should become more aware of the historical discrimination that this population has faced.

Showing up in sea tempest attacked Puerto Rico since Maria's landfall, President Trump offered a healthy round of congrats to government help endeavors and expressed gratitude toward the island's representative. In any case, the president likewise recommended Maria was not a "genuine calamity," made an odd and misdirecting correlation with the loss of life from Hurricane Katrina, and clowned about how the sea tempest would influence the government spending plan. “Puerto Rico survived the hurricane," President Trump rightly says, and "Now a financial crisis looms largely of their own making." Hard words, but true.

Hurricane Katrina was a devastating disaster that has affected many people in New Orleans as well as the surrounding areas. It had a stunning “death toll of 1300 people and damage over $100 billion ”( Davlasheridze 94 ). The communication were taken down hours after Katrina because of the unexpected fast winds and floods that broke down “3 million phone lines and 1,000 cellular towers in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.”( Joch ). Because of the millions of phone lines that were battered, contacting the government for help was difficult hours after hurricane Katrina. Not only that, the people of New Orleans underestimated the power of Hurricane Katrina causing many to be “ stranded with no food or water” ( Narrator, “The Storm”,PBS ).

Underutilization and early termination of mental health services for Latinos in the U.S continues to be a concern for current research and practice in social work. A synthesis of current research demonstrates that there are several factors impacting access and utilization of mental health services for Latinos. According to U.S Department of Health and Human Services (2001), although Latinos are at increased vulnerability for developing mental illness, they continue to be half as likely in comparison to whites to access mental health services. Low rates of utilization of mental health services among the Latino community can be associated to a variety of factors including socioeconomic factors, cultural variables, stigma, psychotherapeutic challenges, client-therapist interaction (Kouyoumdjian, Zamboanga, & Hansen, 2003). Mental health conditions can significantly impact and individual’s ability to function and achieve their highest potential, consideration of these factors is essential in order to address the needs of a vulnerable population, and support Latinos in accessing mental health services when needed. This learning brief will focus on exploring how client system factors specific to Latinos’ resources, culture and worldview are associated with the underutilization of services for Latinos and important implications for practitioners when providing treatment.

After Hurricane Sandy there was a bunch of damage done to theses states : Jamaica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, and the U.S. (“Superstorm Sandy”). “The hurricane left an estimated 200,000 people without shelter” (“Superstorm Sandy”). The property damage was an estimate from between $30-$50 billion (“Superstorm Sandy’’). Many people had no home for a long time nothing to come home to or

There are Latinos who need services, but as mentioned, they also face barriers that hold them back from seeking the help they need. If Latinos feel that the services are culturally appropriate it will be easier and more comfortable for them to be willing to seek the services. One of the first things Latinos may look for is to see if services are bilingual as well as providers. (Haack et al. 2011; NIH 2002; Ojeda et al. 2010 as cited in Haack, Gerdes, & Lawton, 2014). It is important to make that clear as well as the information on the agency. Reaching out to communities may also be a successful strategy to get through Latinos, such as churches and places where they feel safe, and they trust. By hearing it from someone close to them, such as

In order to eliminate these disparities in care, we must first document the extent of disparities, recognize factors and processes that cause these inequities in care, and apply this knowledge to develop and implement evidence-based interventions aimed at eliminating these trends in care. Mental health services and policies aimed at achieving this important objective must be informed by research because research can provides some best available evidences, produce valuable information about the pathways, documents specific trends in care, and explains why and how these inequities occur. For example, researchers suggest that a complex interplay of structural, economic, psychiatric, and cultural factors influence Latinos’access to mental health

Kanter, Hurtado, Rusch, Busch, and Santiago-Rivera (2008) have found that these challenges include unemployment, underemployment, substandard housing, inadequate income, limited recourses, weak support networks, family separation and displacement (Kanter et al., 2008).“These contextual factors for Latinos are major sources of psychological distress and risk factors for depression” (Kanter et al., 2008 pg 491). Several of the risks factors above regarding Latino depression have existed within Client X’s preceding circumstances, such as limited support systems, disruption of the family, as well as displacement. These precursory factors trigger client X’s problem behaviors. Research reveals

While working with clients that are multicultural, it’s important that counselors address the behavioral problems in the client’s family. (Santisteban, et al., 2003). It is important that the counselor allows changes in the family’s function and allow problematic behaviors to change to allow the family to work better, together (Santisteban, et al., 2003). The counselor can do this by addressing the client’s presenting problems and correcting those problems with healthier behaviors (Santisteban, et al., 2003). The counselor needs to allow the family time to change their behaviors. For example: A Hispanic family has come into counseling because their son is disruptive. This disruptive behavior is disrupting the family’s functioning.

Hurricane Matthew affected our community, because of the mass destruction it left on the outskirts of Florida’s island. Matthew left the community with no electricity for the course of six days, and rained down on us with water which flooded our roads ,But the worst thing Matthew did to us was many deaths it caused while traveling through the Caribbean islands,and then leaving the people with grief. Buildings roof was ripped off because of the strong winds, community installed shutters or forced evacuated, because of the fear that was exaggerated on news that Matthew will destroy their beloved homes and even deaths if we didn’t run away from it.

Firstly, I think that every successful president must be honest in order for citizens to trust him. The president of a country represents all of its citizens. I also think that a successful president has to do positive and important things to his country. For example, George Washington made The United States an independent country and Abraham Lincoln fought to end
