1 Rough Draft of Final Project Southern New Hampshire University January 21, 2024

2 Observe Vu is a Vietnamese American whom his parents forced to send to America for a better life. For a child of his age, he underwent an immigration traumatic experience. At the age of seven, he was a Vietnamese boat refugee and spent two years in a refugee camp in the Philippines before coming to America. When he arrived in America, he met the Tylers who became his adopted family. He expressed feeling lonely on multiple occasions and wondered what he did wrong to his family that made them not want or love him. He felt wanted and loved by the Tyler family. Being identified as an American and with the American culture he has no ties with his family and Vietnamese culture. According to Becoming a Multiculturally Competent Counselor “Acculturation and assimilation are complex for immigrants depending on their individuals and the level of pressure they face (Brown & Duan, 2015). For Vu to be successful and survive he has fully embraced the American culture. Reasoning Vu's reasoning for seeking counseling is to help him find answers because he still remembers where he came from. He wants to understand his past before deciding to create his own family, as he is now engaged to be married. Although Vu has a new family, he still feels abandoned, empty, and lost. He wants to be free from the anger he's still holding on. It is also crucial for him to know and understand the effects denying his heritage and culture could have on his future children. Barriers The barrier Vu had was his inability to communicate when he arrived in the United States, which prevented him from seeking counseling earlier on. “Most college campuses offer

3 free counseling to students, but researchers have shown that students of color or other minority statuses tend to underuse or permanently terminate counseling” (Duan & Brown, 2015). Although Vu had a great life with his foster family, was there ever a time when Vu had to deal with prejudice outside his home? According to Duan & Brown, 2015 prejudice and discrimination are a social reality among minorities, which may deny them access to professional counseling. Steps The counselor must understand Vu's worldview to understand the client's choices and guilt better. To understand why Vu made meaning out of his experiences, the counselor must know how the American and Vietnamese cultures intersect with Vu. The counselor must also properly diagnose the client and get the client the right resources or information that is needed to set the goals that are important for him. Considerations The counselor must avoid making assumptions to prevent identifying with the struggles of immigration and acculturation. The counselor must show sensitivity to Vu and try not to impose family values and relevance on the client—knowledge of any racial and cultural heritage and its effects.
