Career Support Group for Latino/a College Students
Berrios-Allison, Ana C.
Journal of College Counseling, v14 n1 p80-95 Spr 2011
Culturally derived career counseling groups constitute a potentially promising way of providing supportive experiences for Latino/a college students. These groups can facilitate Latino/a students' help-seeking behavior, address general college transition needs, add new coping skills, resolve developmental issues, and respond to career concerns. The author finds these groups useful for promoting overall wellness; improving academic performance, retention, and graduation rates; and enhancing successful transitioning into the job market and/or the continuation of postgraduation plans. (Contains 2 tables.)
