258 Words2 Pages

Latino, a Latino is a person of Latin-America or a person who lives in the United States. Latinos are a hispanic family or as we like to call them a close-knit group and the most important social unit. The term “familia” usually goes beyond the nuclear family. Latinos are very family oriented. In many hispanic families the father is the main head of the family, and the mother is responsible for the home. Individuals within the family have moral responsibilities such as helping other family members that are in need of aid, or financial problems for example if part of a family is living in the united states and the other half is living in mexico and one is sick it is the moral responsibility if the the family living in the united states to send

  • Reflection On Hispanic Family Therapy

    154 Words  | 1 Pages

    Thanks Amy, your post defined the many reasons for Hispanics to be among the inclusion of family therapies and other counseling. Hispanics have left their homes to come to a place of different than their own, so depression and grief could be a thing of the past for Hispanics living in America. Health is a key component when raising a family, seeking better for oneself, but alcohol is not a family thing or an individual thing it is a societal issue that must be combated no matter the culture. SBIRT is a great intervention process that speaks to the individual and the family. I believe in a unit if one part is affected then the others are as well.

    Growing up as a first-generation Mexican American was a huge advantage for me in that it allowed me to grow up in a culturally diverse community. I learned how to work well with people of all backgrounds and empathize with people from all walks of life. However, while being the first in my family to go to college was a momentous accomplishment, the lack of instruction and guidance lead me to commit many mistakes that could have been easily avoided during my first years at college. My timidity and downright arrogance lead me to believe that I did not need anyone’s assistance and thus I found myself denial that there was a problem in terms of my grades during my first semesters. I have since addressed this issue and have worked diligently to

    Generally speaking Hispanic families are patriarchal, gender roles are specific, and are a devout group of churchgoing people (Vacc et al., 2003). In my family both of my parents were authoritarian and they both took the role of provider and protector which made them egalitarian. When it comes to sexual behavior we were taught to be both sentimental, gentle, independent, brave, strong, and rational which traditionally is divided by gender but was not in my family. For example, both the girls and the boys were taught how to cook/housework and have a working knowledge of how to take of a car i.e. checking the tires and the
