Educational Objectives:
- To overview Latino/Mestizo worldview and value orientations, including contextual variables, i.e. acculturation process, language proficiency. and sociopolitical climate towards Latinos and immigrants.
- To describe counseling and advocacy techniques that address issues in the context of the individual and the Latino family.
