Mental Health Issues Among Immigrant Adolescents and Youth

<p>SAMHSA Minority Fellowship Program at the American Nurses Association alumna, Faven Mesfin joins Mental Health Trailblazers, Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up host, Indrias Kassaye, in this episode on the youth mental health challenges that immigrant adolescents and youth face in America today.</p><p>Young people from recent immigrant backgrounds are the fastest growing segment of America’s youth population today. The majority of them are from ethnic and racial minority groups. The youth mental health crisis that has been raising alarm bells is even more intense among these foreign born and first-generation young people where rates of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress syndrome reach up to double that of their peers.</p><p>Listen in as Faven and Indrias explore the mental health related challenges that immigrant youth are facing today – from the stress that comes with adapting to a new culture, the fallout from clashing norms and values, misunderstanding terminology, the nuances of language and how nurses can better fill the deficit in culturally competent behavioral health care providers that these adolescents and youth need to thrive.</p><p>FREE CNE credits are available for listening to Season 3 episodes of Mental Health Trailblazers, Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up!
