Examining Factors that Promote Healthy Development for Latinx Adolescents

Fernanda Cross, PhD, joins this episode of Michigan Minds during Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month to discuss her research examining family and cultural factors that promote a healthy development for Latinx adolescents, and various ways to learn about National Hispanic Heritage Month. As an assistant professor at the U-M School of Social Work, Cross’ research utilizes a strength-based approach to look at factors that promote healthy development and mitigate the risk of poor psychological and/or educational outcomes for Latinx adolescents and families. Her work also examines the impact of documentation status on the family.
