Abstract

Children rely heavily on their parents for guidance and support throughout development. When parental support is hindered by racial discrimination, poverty, trauma, and acculturative family distancing, barriers to a child's success are cultivated. It is imperative that providers of children and families address racial and cultural concerns in a humble, curious manner. Cultural adaptations to family-based care can lead to stronger outcomes with families.

Keywords: Acculturation; Family-based care; Mental health; Parenting; Racial identity; Racism.
