dc.description.abstractThis research explores the dynamic process of acculturation and its effects on the mental health of Filipino immigrants as well as its implications for treatment planning. As approximately 23% of Canada's population comprises immigrants, this capstone paper aims to bridge the gap in the literature by focusing on the specific acculturation experiences of Filipino immigrants in Canada. Through an extensive literature review, the paper reveals a gap in the research regarding the acculturation experiences of Filipino Canadians. Additionally, the paper delves into the cultural and historical dimensions unique to the community, highlighting how acculturation influences mental health. By addressing critical gaps in current research, particularly the limited focus on specific ethnocultural groups, this research serves as a catalyst for future studies. The findings emphasize the need for culturally sensitive approaches in mental health care for Filipino immigrants and advocate for in-depth, longitudinal studies. This research contributes to a more inclusive treatment landscape by advancing counsellors' knowledge and understanding of the Filipino community. The implications highlight the importance of culturally informed treatment planning for Filipino immigrants in Canada to promote a comprehensive and effective approach to mental health care.
