Abstract:
This article highlights how accurate media representation centering SAAs allows discourse on salient topics of SAA-specific discrimination and bullying, identity development, gendered norms, social controls, culturally informed clinical concerns, and attitudes toward mental health. Media representation can serve as a conversational starting point for clinicians and can serve to acknowledge the benefits of belief systems and social connectedness that anchor youth in a sense of purpose that is larger than the individual. Finally, media as a clinical tool could foster bicultural identity, which is shown to protect against acculturation stressors and intergenerational conflicts and to promote resilience, cognitive flexibility, and resourcefulness (socio-cognitive capacity).11 Media can thus be used as an innovative tool for clinicians to support minoritized youth, including SAA, through reflecting the complexities of their experiences, increasing engagement, and promoting insightful, culturally sensitive care.
