<p> Latinx adolescents reveal the highest risk for depression across multiple ethnic groups; therefore, it is critical to reduce the burden of mental illness among Latinx adolescents. The purpose of this psychoeducational curriculum is to enhance support for Latinx parents with adolescents who are affected by clinical depression. The curriculum was specifically designed to increase Latinx parent&rsquo;s understanding on how depression impacts adolescents, provide tools and strategies to cope with the impact of depression, and increase awareness of community resources. The goal of the curriculum is to teach parents strategies to strengthen interpersonal relationships and help their adolescents cope with depressive symptoms. The curriculum will include group discussions and homework assignments to increase participants&rsquo; likelihood of using the tools and strategies at home. A facilitator&rsquo;s guide is also included to assist with the implementation of the curriculum.</p><p>

In 1975, the Governments of Iraq and Egypt signed a bilateral agreement according to which Egyptian peasant families would be resettled in Iraq. One hundred settlers and their families arrived in 1976 in the Khalsa Settlement south of Baghdad, where each was given a house and the indefinite lease to a plot of land. The present study set out to discover the type of community which evolved in this Settlement given the fact that the Egyptian peasant families were recruited from different provinces in Egypt. It was assumed that the geographical remoteness of the home villages as well as the confrontation with a relatively alien socio-economic environment - cultural similarities between Egypt and Iraq notwithstanding - would serve to diminish the importance of the settler households' heterogeneous provincial origins and encourage the formation of a relatively cohesive community. The majority of the Egyptian peasant families included in the present study have not failed to take advantage of new economic opportunities which have come their way after resettlement. This has necessitated a certain change in social values and norms. It was found that there is a certain selectivity with regard to the extent to which values and norms have been modified in response to the demands of a new way of life after resettlement. This very selectivity has had an impact on the scope of male and female social networks in Khalsa and thus on the type of community of social control which has evolved in this Settlement.

<p>In a time when Black millennials lead statistical data in imprisonment and other negative data, millennials are overlooked in positive data that allows for better financial stewardship and ministry approaches. The purpose of this research is to hear the voice of Black millennials on faith and the Black church. The Black church cannot sustain itself if it loses this generation due to lack of communication, understanding, and relationship. Using mixed method ethnographic research, data was collected using the snowball method of surveying, small group conversations, and interviews. This created a multidimensional depiction of millennials, not as a monolith but as a biological generation with a collective sense of ideals and understanding that do not define the generation but penetrates the culture. The data embodies men and women born between 1981 and 1996, representing more than thirty-six states, of different sexuality, familial backgrounds, education, socioeconomic levels, faith backgrounds, and incarceration experiences. There were 1,117 participants surveyed, four small groups engaged, and four interviews. The results were clear. Millennials want to be valued and engaged. Black churches represent relationship for millennials in unique ways of surrogacy for some and accountability for others. Millennials have hope for Black churches, since they are able to connect them to outreach opportunities that benefit them and their communities in a spiritual experience that accepts responsibilities of the Black churches of old. Communication between Black churches and millennials is restricted and superficial. Churches have made more assumptions than inquiries, leaving them programming blindly. If churches are willing to ask questions, listen, and act with authenticity in mind as opposed to numerical bragging and the creation of Stepford Christians, they will benefit from unique gifts and souls that will not only sustain the church but catapult it into a trailblazing institution whose product matches the brand.

<p> This study examines the efficacy of archaeological interpretation of ethnicity within the confines of nineteenth-century material culture available from the New York State Museum&rsquo;s archaeology collection and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation Cultural Resource Information System. The goals of this evaluation are to discuss the limits of archaeological interpretation of ethnicity, the utility of material indications of racism in the archaeological record, and the archaeological footprint of immigrant groups by considering the economic development history of New York State. This study focuses on the canals and railroads of New York State as a mechanism of economic development across the state, and how the construction of these arteries impacted the lives of immigrant populations who both built and depended upon them. Archaeological evidence combined with historical documents and map data provide a clear picture of the development of interpretive resolution of ethnic identity in rural communities as they are connected to the larger economy through the construction of these arteries. The following is a detailed account of the construction of this connection as it happens throughout the nineteenth century and across the geography of New York State with the goal of creating a model to assess the archaeological visibility of social difference due to economic change and development. </p><p>
