from the following article below do you agree with the Psychologists findings and why? On the Texas psychological association website I read an article with the headline "TPA supports federal and tribal petitioners on the Indian Child Welfare Act". The Indian Child Welfare Act from an Equal Protection Clause challenged a race based statutory structure. The article was brief on the subject of how Indian children were being places in adoptive and foster homes that were not members of the extended family or of the same minority. In 1978, Congress determined that it would be equally fair in the best interest of Indian children that they should be placed within members of the child's tribe or another Indian family. Psychologists later reviewed that when a child was placed in an Indian home, they performed best and had a better formation of their identity in the Indian culture. Researchers also added that the children had a substantially high self-esteem and resilience that would lead to substantial health benefits. 85% of Indian children were being placed in foster homes that were non-Indian homes. This issue ties into the future of clinical psychology as culture sets in on children growing up being more familiar with their cultural identity. Being raised in an Indian home avoid coping mechanisms and emotional distress. As this is not the case in all scenarios where two different minorities exist, two similar minorities help in ones identity role.

The impact of culture on mental health and well-being has been an important area of research in recent years. With the rise of community psychology, social cohesion and the we-feeling that belonging to a community affords is seen as an asset to a person's overall health and well-being. While there are human universals that find their expression in behavior, community-specific habits and tendencies are of equal importance.
In this regard, it is important to understand the effects of community cohesion on the well-being of children. Since children are at an age where they possess a significant amount of psychological flexibility, a sense of cohesion with their culture can form the groundwork upon which they base their ethnic identity and sense of self. Studies among various tribes across Africa have also shown that when children are brought up on the customs and practices of their own culture, they are more likely to show positive health outcomes and better integration into society as adults.
