Traumatic Stress in Children and Youth Crossing the U.S. Mexico Border.
Curr Psychiatry Rep
December 2024
Purpose Of The Review: We review the literature and examine the impact of traumatic stress experienced by children and youth crossing the US-Mexico Border and discuss the psychological effects of trauma incurred in this population, observing various traumatic stressors and their implications on both short and long-term mental health outcomes. Additionally, we discuss existing interventions and treatment approaches while also emphasizing the need for greater awareness, new interventions, and further research.
Recent Findings: Over the past several decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of undocumented youth crossing the US-Mexico border into the United States and these individuals experience various traumatic stressors throughout the pre-migration, migration, and post-migration phases.

Article Synopsis
- In 2020, the authors expressed their commitment to making JAACAP (Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry) an antiracist journal at all levels.
- Over the past four years, they have implemented various initiatives to align the journal with this vision, including both JAACAP and JAACAP Open.
- Their goal is to lead the mental health journal community in adopting intentional antiracist policies and practices.
I have read with great interest the Letter to the Editor by dosReis et al. in response to my Editorial on the impact of policy on children's mental health. Though I wholeheartedly agree with the perspectives and recommendations made by the authors, I do have to offer cautionary caveats to their proposals.
