Chicane Mental Health is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the mental health challenges faced by Chicane and Latine communities. Through its holistic, systemic, and culturally informed approaches, this book combines Chicane and Latine psychological frameworks and rigorous research with Indigenous healing practices, cultural humility, and psychological insights , offering both scholars and practitioners a deeper understanding of the intersectional factors that shape mental well-being in the Chicane/Latine community. The book also illustrates interventions and models that serve and contribute to the well-being of the Chicane and Latine communities.Mónica Torreiro-Casal, co-author of Chicanx and Latinx Psychologies: Decolonial Approaches
Chicane Mental Health provides an overview of research and real-world applications through vignettes to illustrate how the physical, mental, emotional, and relational challenges Chicane people face are rooted in the historical, political, developmental, and sociocultural contexts in which they are raised. Rather than blaming the individual for their ailments, this book takes into account historical, developmental, and contextual perspectives to understand Chicane mental health and illness. This book is for undergraduate students and practitioners to empower Chicane individuals and communities to heal by balancing alma, mente y corazón at various stages throughout the lifespan.Christy Teranishi Martinez, California State University Channel Islands
