Abstract
This capstone project explores the impact of intergenerational cultural dissonance (ICD) within immigrant and refugee families and aims to enhance therapeutic practices for this population. It examines the primary sources, manifestations, and mental health challenges associated with ICD and offers practical, actionable suggestions to equip mental health professionals with the tools to deliver culturally competent care, bridge generational gaps, and address the unique needs of immigrant and refugee populations. The review concludes by offering a comprehensive approach to addressing ICD. This approach, which encompasses culturally-sensitive practices, enhanced family communication, trauma-informed care, and community resources, enables counsellors to support these families effectively.
