- Summary:
- "For decades now, the varied mental health fields that seek to understand and address the needs of Spanish speakers in the United States have required tenacious, resilient, and dedicated researchers and professionals como tú. Although bilingual mental health training, research, and therapeutic services continue to face formidable challenges, resource sharing and community building empower and promote the development of our academic and professional workforce. This book builds on these tradiciones, intentionally increasing access to guidance for competent bilingual mental health training, research, practice, and advocacy. It also provides advice on the recruitment, retention, graduation, and promotion of aspiring bilingual scientists and practitioners, emphasizing the nuances and unique skill sets necessary for success. This book is an essential resource that serves as both a guide and a map-offering clear direction, practical wisdom, and profound insight for Latinxs seeking to forge a path as a bilingual mental health professional, researcher, or educator. Drawing deeply from their own lived experiences, the contributors illuminate the journey with compassion and clarity, making the road ahead both accessible and inspiring. Chapters thoughtfully trace developmental milestones of bilingual students and early career professionals, all the while celebrating the richness of Latine language, culture, and identity."--Preface.
