Problem:
Reply to "Families I serve face issues involving high stress from navigating racism, discrimination, and unequal access to resources. There is distrust in the system, including health care, police, and schools. I see role strain and single mother households where spirituality and resilience might get overlooked. Interventions for culturally congruent care would involve open-ended questions about racial socialization, stressors, and coping practices. Validating experiences without minimizing is important. Delivering trauma informed care that acknowledges intergenerational stress while using language that focuses on the person's strengths is helpful. I've seen immigrant families modify communication norms and prioritize bilingualism while adjusting to educational norms as well. These readings reinforced that African American families are multidimensional and shaped by history, resilience, and society. Parenting practices are often protective to counter unequal treatment. Humor, spirituality, and kinship are important for us to recognize. Perhaps in future research we could focus on how African American fathers participate in racial socialization, as most research is on mother's. We could look at how digital media influences mental health and identity formation. We could also try to connect parental expectations with educational and health outcomes. Both of the articles show the importance of understanding African American families for effective practice." Need Assignment Help?
