Abstract

Jamaican families and children represent a large sector of immigrant groups in the United States. Many of these families and children face unique challenges that have a significant impact on their mental health. This article discusses issues relevant to Jamaican immigrant families and children in relation to their attitudes toward mental health services and overall psychological well-being. Recommendations for counselors are provided to meet the needs of this population and promote good mental health.
