The Well-Being of Immigrant Latino Youth: A Framework to Inform Practice slides notes
This presentation summarizes findings regarding the well-being of Latino youth in several domains important to functioning later in life (e.g. mental health, substance use, school functioning, early adult role-taking). Risks and protective factors that impact the adaptation of Latino youth in immigrant families are also discussed. A framework of practice guidelines is proposed to guide helping professionals in assessing the needs of Latino youth.

Child Abuse Investigation and Treatment for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children: Ethical Practice and Policy slides notes
Deaf children are more susceptible than other children to abuse. Because many helping professionals are unaware of deaf children’s vulnerabilities and needs, the effectiveness of their services to that population is limited. Human service agencies rely on inadequate means of communication in child abuse investigations despite laws and ethical standards mandating that they communicate using methods that deaf clients can understand. Ineffective intervention practices fail to protect this vulnerable population of children.
