Tools to Craft a Cultural Formulation
Clinicians should strive to understand every patient from their own perspective. The authors present tools to help patients narrate their own experiences and elaborate on the context of their symptoms, allowing clinicians to appreciate the cultural influences on a patient and how that affects their symptomatology. This knowledge can then be crafted into a nuanced cultural formulation of the patient, with the goals of not only better understanding the patient ’s specific, intersectional context but also guiding treatment planning. As a result, the patient is evaluated in a holistic manner, and their specific needs are cen...

The Color of Child Protection in America
This article illuminates the color of child protection by exposing the risks of racist and white supremacist harm intrinsic to the child welfare, public education, and juvenile injustice systems, specifically when they intersect with the child mental health system. Relying on bold and radical frameworks, such as abolition, critical race theory, and decolonization, it positions child mental health providers to confront the color of child protection while protecting minoritized children against these systems of harm. These frameworks inspire a daily antiracist practice whereby child mental health providers challenge racist i...

Beyond Children ’s Mental Health
Clinicians trained to assess and treat child psychopathology are facing an increasing need to expand their clinical expertise outside of traditional frameworks, which have historically focused largely on the child or the child –mother dyad. Clinicians treating children also need to be prepared to assess and address the systems of care that affect a child’s mental health, starting with their family. There is a scarcity of Latino mental health providers and limited clinical opportunities or settings that serve this popu lation by incorporating a developmental, cultural, and sociopolitical framework into high quality care...

East Asian Population

Considering “Spheres of Influence” in the Care of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender, and Queer-Identified Youth
Working with lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender, and queer-identified (LGBTQ) youth can present a uniquely challenging opportunity for clinicians given the rapidly changing landscapes of gender and sexuality and deficits in training and education. The goal of this article is to provide the most up-to-date trends and advances in the mental health care of LGBTQ youth to empower clinicians in delivering evidence-based care. We adapt the “Spheres of Influence” model to challenge the clinician to think more globally about our interventions. When LGBTQ youth are supported at every sphere, we give them the best chance to surv...

Clinical Considerations in Working with Youth from Diverse Populations
We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter their color. —Maya AngelouThe overall racial and ethnic diversity of our nation has continued to increase, and serving our collective communities will require cultural humility, curiosity, and learning. In the 2020 census, nearly 4 out of 10 Americans identified with a race or ethnic group other than white. Ad ditional important dimensions of identity, experience, and culture enrich one another synergistically. (Source: Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America)

Dialog Across Cultures
Child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAPs) work at the intersections of families, cultures, and systems, which affect engagement in care, assessment, and treatment planning. There are several practical strategies that CAPs can apply to practice cultural humility, to join with families, to facilitate difficult conversations and to work through misalignment. Culturally inclusive family-based care can promote greater understanding and lead to stronger outcomes with families as well as help mitigate mental health impact of structural racism and social inequities.

Cultural Considerations in Working with Black and African American Youth
This article seeks to provide an exploration of the contributors to the mental health of Black and African Americans. We explore the foundations of racism in this country as well as factors leading to systemic racism. It is important to gain an understanding of the multifaceted contributors to disparities in health care and mental health care. Black children and adolescents experience more poverty, discrimination, marginalization, and racism compared with their white counterparts in the United States (APA, 2017). These are factors that greatly impact the mental health of this population. In addition to exploring examples o...
