色花堂

For some, being Latinx is a central aspect of who they are while others may find other identities are more salient (e.g. race, religion, immigration status, social class, sexual orientation, etc.).  Latinx is a term primarily used in the United States and encompasses a broad variety of cultural backgrounds and nationalities. Therefore the experiences of members of this heterogeneous community vary widely. 

Some of the unique experiences of Latinx students include:

• Holding U.S. American values/customs as well Latin American cultural values
• Skills as bilingual and/or bicultural individuals
• Understanding one鈥檚 Latinx identity in a predominantly White institution (PWI)
• Having fewer Latinx role models in positions of power
• Stereotypes or assumptions about the Latinx community 
• Being a first generation college student or citizen
• Distress resulting from experiences of discrimination and/or prejudice

Clinicians at the Counseling Center recognize the importance of cultural identities and their impact on your mental well-being.  They can therefore be a great resource.

Below we outline a variety of other resources, both on and off-campus, that can support you through these experiences.
