School-Based Intervention Case Study
Mental illness is currently extremely stigmatizing in almost Asian cultures, so compared to Caucasians, East Asian Americans exhibited significantly high levels of depression (Young et al., 2010). In general, depressive symptoms are associated with major impairments in social, academic, and emotional functioning that even may persist after the resolution of the depressive events. Since East Asian American immigrant children might experience a lot of stressors during their pre-migration and resettlement experiences, this impacts their psychological well-being in their life time course (Perreira & Ornelas, 2011).
East Asian American immigrant children’s traumatic circumstances are somewhat unavoidable, but we are able to make the problem less severe with appropriate and seasonable interventions. I assume that a school setting is ideal for mental health interventions because attendance is mandatory and because a broad range of child behavior can be observed by many individuals who are in different level of settings. So, children’s depression that stems from acculturation stress and sociocultural maladaptation in the new environment, can be reduced when provided as an educationally connected intervention in a school setting that is a safe and familiar environment (Kataoka et al., 2003). Therefore, I suggest a “culturally considered school-based intervention” to reduce immigrant children’s mental health problems and consider implementation intervention strategies to provide the intervention …show more content…
Aim 3: Improve the “culturally considered school-based intervention” fidelity in the real world.
Aim 4: Explore the importance of implementation intervention strategies in mental health area based on schools among immigrant children.
Aim 5: Examine the influence of implementation outcomes of the culturally considered school-based program in the real
