UndocuCare: Strategies for Mental Health Services That Affirm Undocumented College Students' Psychological Needs
Nienhusser, H. Kenny; Cadenas, Germán A.; Sosa, Raquel; Moreno, Oswaldo
New Directions for Higher Education, n203 p93-108 2023
There are an estimated 427,000 undocumented college students enrolled in higher education. Undocumented college students encounter unique challenges associated with their precarious immigration status that impacts their psychological well-being. In this article, we contextualize the mental health of undocumented college students and the role of college mental health services and professionals in supporting college students' psychological well-being. We end with recommendations and, in some cases, examples for campus mental health services, college counseling professionals, and counseling-related preparation programs to develop policies and practices that affirm and support the mental health of undocumented college students.
