Assignment
Adolescents are known to search for their identity, to be especially influenced by peer groups, to struggle to establish a degree of independence from the family, and to strive to develop a sense of gender role. Adolescents from immigrant families may face special stresses and tensions, due to differences in gender roles, family structure and cohesiveness, and differences in emphasis between individual and group values between the family's original culture and the host culture. Too often, this can lead to alienation from both the positive elements of the host culture and of the family, with resultant problems such as psychological distress, delinquency, and substance abuse.
For this task, you will look at evidence-based and model programs aimed to ameliorate the stress of acculturation for adolescents. Then, you will write an essay that includes the following:
Support your paper with at least three research articles published in peer reviewed journals. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages

Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University's Academic Integrity Policy.
