First generation Americans (born to immigrant parents or naturalized U.S. citizens) are vulnerable to experiencing a number of unique challenges: conflicts between family values and society values, ambivalent relationship with their bodies and sexuality, imposter syndrome, parentification as children, internalized oppression, amongst others. Exposed to the immigration trauma their parents suffered, 1st generation Americans navigate two cultural worlds. In families of immigrants who have limited access to the English language, first generation Americans become cultural brokers of their parents, acting as translators, assistants, etc. This workshop will introduce best practices when working clinically with this population, technical recommendations, and assessment skills to sensitize clinicians to common issues and ways to address them. The presenter will use a clinical vignette and identify potential issues and interventions relevant to this population
