Latino Immigrants in a New Destination State: A Qualitative Study of Provider Experiences
Held, Mary Lehman; McCabe, Jeff; Thomas, Liz
Journal of Social Work Education, v54 n4 p641-656 2018
Latino immigrants are settling in new destination states that have fewer culturally and linguistically competent health and social service providers. Social workers are in an ideal position to serve Latino immigrants. Yet, limited literature is available on the strengths and needs of this population specific to new destination states. To help fill this gap, qualitative data were gathered in individual interviews with providers serving Latino immigrants in one new destination state. Key themes emerged from the data, suggesting the importance of family and community, the challenges of immigration-related stressors, and the strengths and gaps in service provision. Implications for practice and social work education are presented.
