Garces Carranza, PhD., offers a compelling exploration of the intersection between clinical social work and the Latino community in the vibrant city of New York. With over three decades of experience as a clinical social worker, Doctor Garces Carranza provides a profound understanding of the challenges and complexities Latinos face regarding mental health. Throughout the book, Doctor Garces Carranza emphasizes the need for open dialogue and breaking taboos surrounding mental health in the Latino community. Drawing from his firsthand experiences, he sheds light on the cultural stigma that often prevents parents, children, and schoolteachers from discussing mental health issues openly. By addressing this silence head-on, Doctor Garces Carranza advocates for a more inclusive and supportive environment where individuals can seek help without fear or judgement. Furthermore, "Clinical Social Work with Latinos in New York-USA" highlights the author's bilingual and bicultural perspective as a vital asset in clinical social work with Latinos. Doctor Garces Carranza underscores the importance of specialized education and the advantages of understanding the Latino population's language and culture. Through practical recommendations and insights, the book guides clinical social workers, providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively address mental health concerns within the Latino community and contribute to the growing Latin American social work movement.

This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos are the fastest growing and largest minority group in the United States. In 2008, this group numbered over 47 million; by 2050, the population is expected to triple, reaching 133 million. Traditionally, Latinos have immigrated to large urban centers (e.g., New York, Los Angeles) that over long periods of time developed a complex infrastructure to receive new immigrants. Increasingly, new Spanish-speaking immigrants are moving into areas of the country previously unfamiliar to them. Although urban co-ethnic communities continue to be the destination of many newcomers, immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America in pursuit of low-skilled labor opportunities are settling in small towns and rural areas of the South and Midwest. This new demographic trend has resulted in the creation of the term "new growth communities," which refers to small rural areas that are now home to a small but rapidly growing Hispanic population. Unfortunately, these communities, which are now present in many states across the country (e.g., Illinois, North Carolina), lack the infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of Latino immigrants (e.g., access to health care, immigration assistance, and breaking down language barriers). The lack of an infrastructure and the lack of an established ethnic community to facilitate the assimilation of new immigrants present an ongoing challenge, especially in the area of Latino mental health. The volume focuses on dealing with systemic issues and on providing innovative ideas for development of infrastructure of services. This text will advance ways to understand and ameliorate mental health disparities both from research and experiential perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus on Latinos in the United States has generally overlooked key social-economic-political dimensions that are not only growing in importance, but may ultimately hold an important key to how well this group does in the immediate and distant future in the country. The approximate ten-year period since this text's initial publication has witnessed an increase in scholarship and new social-political-economic developments regarding this population group. Social Work with Latinos, Second Edition captures these advances and adds to the existing body of work in this area. In particular, this revised edition provides an up-to-date demographic profile; identifies the rewards and challenges for the development of social work interventions focused on Latinos; includes a conceptual foundation from which to develop social work strategies for outreach, engagement, service-provision, and evaluation; features a series of case illustrations to highlight how cultural competency/humility can unfold to better reach this population group; grounds the Latino experience within a social, economic, cultural, and political context; and provides recommendations for social work education, research and practice.

Book excerpt: Latinos are now the largest ethnic minority population in the United States and still they encounter a great deal of misunderstanding, prejudice, and discrimination.

The editors have nearly three decades of combined experience working with Latino populations inside and outside the United States.
