Grupo ESTABILIDAD

Group Name:

Grupo ESTABILIDAD

Unmet Needs:

The fastest growing population group in the United States (US) and the largest ethnic minority, Hispanics

(also often referred to as Latinos) are projected to constitute nearly 30% of the nation’s population by

2060 (Colby & Ortman, 2014). According to the results acquired from the study conducted to analyze if

changes to legal status impact psychological wellbeing among Latino immigrant young adults suggest

that the change from undocumented to lawfully present immigrants is associated with positive health

outcomes. (Patler & Laster,2018). Miscommunication, lack of information, and lack of resources can

hinder the progress of immigrants living in the US.
