Fernanda Cross, PhD, joins this episode of Michigan Minds during Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month to discuss her research examining family and cultural factors that promote a healthy development for Latinx adolescents, and various ways to learn about National Hispanic Heritage Month. As an assistant professor at the U-M School of Social Work, Cross’ research utilizes a strength-based approach to look at factors that promote healthy development and mitigate the risk of poor psychological and/or educational outcomes for Latinx adolescents and families. Her work also examines the impact of documentation status on the family.
