These families in exile endure numerous adverse mental health effects during mass conflicts as well as after resettlement in the host country, affecting the individual and their family members and reverberating to generations. A small number of studies have begun to examine intergenerational trauma among Southeast Asian American refugee and immigrant families, including Vietnamese American families. This study sought to further explore the effects of intergenerational trauma through the second-generation Vietnamese American’s (SGVA) perspective. I employ interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) as the primary inquiry method to explore SGVAs’ perceptions of parental trauma’s effect on parenting. Eleven participants (8 mothers and 3 fathers) were recruited through a purposive sampling method and were interviewed for an hour to two hours through a semi-structured questionnaire. Data analysis yielded six themes of silence and disclosure, multiple traumas as part of daily life, SGVAs’ lived experience, first-generation Vietnamese Americans’ (FGVA) parenting shaped by culture and war, meaning-making of their family’s experience, and SGVAs’ multiple parenting strategies. The superordinate themes include the integral role of silence, the absence and desire for affection, and the contested spaces with multiple realities. The data offer insights into the lived experiences and meaning making of both affected generations. It explores how trauma continues to live on, manifests, and metabolizes the pain and suffering along with ways to cope and spaces to navigate in the world. The themes are discussed with provisions for clinical practice, policy, and further research.Item Historical Trauma and Cultural Healing: A Children's Mental Health eReview summary(2022-04) Michaels, Cari CThis teaching handout summarizes the research in the Children's Mental Health eReview issue "Historical Trauma and Cultural Healing".

This holistic approach to healthcare including these traditional practices and medicines were not included in what we see offered at Western clinics nor are they covered by health insurance companies in the United States. The purpose of this work was to personally observe to understand the marriage of traditional healing and spiritual care in a Western clinic setting. In order to increase the number of people being served in this holistic manner, I name a few recommendations including: adding traditional healing and/or spiritual care service components to other clinics and perhaps hospitals; creating a formal referral network for physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other healthcare providers to use; creating a database of available traditional healing and spiritual care services in a geographic area for community members and organizations to use; and expanding the post-event participant surveys to collect more identifiable information and potential barriers to service their participants face to better serve the community.
