What are some resiliency-inducing strategies you might use with the student so she doesn't feel as if she has to leave her family? Response: You work as a counselor in a small elementary school in a middle-class neighborhood. A few years ago, several Latin American families moved into the neighborhood and about 15 Latino/a children enrolled in the elementary school. Over time, you have become aware that many of these new families struggle financially and with racism in the community.
