The family is Catholic and has been quite involved with the local church since they arrived 6 months ago. The Church has provided them with social, economic, and emotional support. In fact, it was the Church that recommended counseling since Juan has been depressed lately and Maria has worried about him and about their relocation to the States. Juan says that he has mixed feelings about his decision to bring the family to the States. He misses Mexico and his family there, especially his mother and siblings. Maria, on the other hand, has two sisters in the United States and even though the move has been hard for her, too, she feels she has more emotional support since she is very close to her sisters and her mother. What institutional barriers might they face?
