Funded by agencies such as the National Science Foundation, Russell Sage Foundation, and National Council for Mental Wellbeing, the lab collects data from parent, youth, and young adults on their experience with bullying, discrimination, school adjustment, mental health, and civic engagement. The lab also provides mental health prevention\/early interventions, (including Youth Mental Health First Aid training and behavioral parent training, to diverse parents\/youth workers to teach them mental health first aid skills to support youth facing mental health challenges.<\/p><p><strong>ABOUT THE PROJECT<\/strong><\/p><p>The UM Scholar will participate in the literature review, data analysis and report writing of the projects. The UM Scholar will also help us code interview data to explore experience of racism, ethnic racial socialization (the parental messages concerning children\u2019s race and ethnicity), civic engagement, youth adjustment, and barriers to seek mental health services.<\/p><p>The UM Scholar will receive training on how to support youth mental health, such as Youth Mental Health First Aid (depending on availability). The UM Scholar may have opportunities to support interventions with immigrant parents and youth.<\/p><p><strong>Learning objectives:<\/strong> The UM scholar will learn mental health knowledge and skills to support immigrant youth and families, specifically related to bullying and mental health. They will be able to identify risk and protective factors impacting youth mental health and identify important factors to consider when culturally adapting intervention for immigrant families.<\/p><p><strong>IDEAL CANDIDATE<\/strong><\/p><p>This project is ideal for graduate students pursuing a Master\u2019s or doctoral (PhD) degree, particularly those with training in social sciences (e.g., psychology, social work, family sciences, human development) or education, and are interested in bullying prevention, youth mental health, parenting and\/or Asian American youth mental
