This session will provide information on the 10th, 11th, and 12th largest populations of Hispanic origin living in the United States: Ecuadorians, Peruvians, and Nicaraguans. Each group accounted for 1% of the U.S. Hispanic population in 2017. The presenters will provide information about the languages, traditions, customs, values, spirituality, and the social, historical, and political context that led them to immigrate to the United States. In addition, they will discuss migration trauma and its impact on mental health. This is a basic level workshop designed for mental health providers, school mental health providers, and school administrators.
