Foreign Acculturation and Adaptation
For Children, ​Teens and Young Adults

​Moving to a new country is a significant event for the immigrant family. 

Immigrant parents are exposed to numerous acculturative stressors and are often at heightened risk for parenting stress and other mental health vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, migration often brings parental adaptation difficulty, lack of time with their children, and language barriers that may destabilize parent-child relationships.

When children’s learning of English and American ways and simultaneously loss of the immigrant culture outstrip their parents. This often leads to increasing parent-child conflicts in immigrant families and adaptation challenges for children.

Our training programs are designed to help families to cope with the stress and succeed in the adaptation process that immigrant families face.
