Generational Acculturation

A definition of acculturation is the extent to which ethnic-cultural minorities participate in the cultural traditions, values, assumptions, and practices of the dominant white society. Acculturation has been described as a powerful determinant of attitudes and behaviors and it affects many aspects of child and family functioning. This workshop will discuss why many of our immigrant families fail this transitioning process causing chaos and strife within what was once a culturally sound family.
