The research institute contributes innovative ways to address and meet the mental health needs of Latinx communities and contributes to the already existing literature base. The following includes current research projects underway at the institute:

Understanding a Culture-Specific Perspective: Latina/o Therapists' Experiences on Working with Mexican/Mexican American Communities:

The current study is focused on two main objectives. First, it is to understand the therapeutic work of Latina/o therapists who are currently providing services to Mexican/Mexican American clients. Secondly, we hope that this understanding will elucidate some common therapeutic themes that may provide insight for various mental health professionals delivering services to the Mexican/Mexican American community.

Intimate Partner Violence and Group Therapy: The Voices of Latino men:

The current study is focused on two main objectives. First, it is to understand the experiences of Spanish-speaking Mexican American men who are currently participating in mandated group treatment for IPV. Specifically, we would like to understand the relationship between the concept of machismo and IPV for Mexican American men. Secondly, we hope that this understanding will elucidate some common themes that may provide insight for various mental health professionals who work with Mexican American men.
