Abstract
(type = abstract)
Peer-reviewed research regarding Asian American families with children who have mental health problems is scant. Asian Americans are one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups and the second largest foreign-born population in the United States. Asian American youth face many acculturative stressors frequently experienced by ethnic minority groups in addition to those experienced by non-minorities. The main purpose of this research was to increase the knowledge of school psychologists working with Asian American youth in order to enhance the accessibility of school psychology services for these students. A survey was disseminated to school psychologists on the New Jersey Association of School Psychologists (NJASP) listserv. There were four main areas that the survey addressed, including: 1) school psychologists' experiences providing services to Asian American youth, 2) steps school psychologists have taken to overcome potential barriers to Asian American youth accessing school psychology services, 3) how competent school psychologists feel providing services to Asian American youth, and 4) the extent to which the institutions in which school psychologists work have made school psychology services accessible to Asian American youth. Not only did this research gather information about the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of school psychologists in providing school psychology services to Asian American youth, but it also aimed to increase/improve services to this population. Responses from participants provided a context for developing themes about different methods school psychologists have found to be helpful in overcoming potential barriers to Asian American youth accessing school psychology services. The majority of the participants indicated that they had the right attitudes with regards to providing services to Asian American youth. However, many of the participants felt that they lacked the necessary knowledge and skills to competently work with this population. Overall, the participants reported that the institutions in which they work rarely make school psychology services accessible to Asian American youth. Based on the information that was gathered in this study, recommendations are provided for ways school psychology training programs, school psychologists, and institutions in which school psychologists work may contribute in enhancing the accessibility of school psychology services for Asian American youth.
