Cultural Factors:

Fuerte is a novel prevention program targeting newcomer immigrant youths (12 – 20 years) from Latin American countries in local area school districts. The program uses the trauma-informed, evidence-based practices of the Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC; Blaustein & Kinniburgh, 2010) framework, combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy skills, to target newcomer youth at risk for behavioral health concerns. The program’s content was derived from input from community members, including newcomer immigrant youth, to be relevant to our population. Acculturation stress (Schwartz, Unger, Zamboanga, & Szapocznik, 2010) immigration-related stress (Perreira, 2013), and client-centered approaches (Falicov, 2013) were theoretical frameworks and approaches to frame, target, and make our program relevant to populations of Latin American newcomer immigrant youths. Finally, Fuerte also uses a trauma-informed approach (National Child Traumatic Stress Network, 2022) to its development, implementation, and dissemination, setting up the groundwork to model that approach to the greater system of care serving these youths. Fuerte has been translated into Spanish, employing local community partners with extensive experience with this population in the translation. Fuerte was also designed from the ground up using a community-based participatory approach that involved input on its design and implementation from multiple stakeholders, including school officials, public health personnel, academic researchers, parents of newcomers, and the newcomers themselves.
