The negative impact of acculturative stress can be seen in the high prevalence rates of mental health disorders and associated symptoms found among immigrant youth (Harker, 2001; Harris, 1999). In addition to struggling to adapt to their new environment, many immigrants have also suffered from or been exposed to a traumatic experience resulting in higher levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (Jaycox et al, 2002). Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999) has shown promising outcomes in the treatment of a variety of mental health disorders and may be especially relevant to the treatment of immigrants (Hayes, Luoma, Bond, Masuda, & Lillis, 2006).

520 $a The negative impact of acculturative stress can be seen in the high prevalence rates of mental health disorders and associated symptoms found among immigrant youth (Harker, 2001; Harris, 1999). In addition to struggling to adapt to their new environment, many immigrants have also suffered from or been exposed to a traumatic experience resulting in higher levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (Jaycox et al, 2002). Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999) has shown promising outcomes in the treatment of a variety of mental health disorders and may be especially relevant to the treatment of immigrants (Hayes, Luoma, Bond, Masuda, & Lillis, 2006).
520 $a The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an ACT based group intervention in helping to alleviate symptoms associated with the immigrant experience in adolescent youth. Participants for this study were recruited through their English as a Second Language class at Southampton High School. They were provided with a brief overview of the program and a program outline and consent form, to be signed by a legal guardian. The eight-week group intervention, composed of six participants, began in the late fall and was held one time per week for approximately one hour and a half per session. It was hypothesized that participants with elevated levels of depression, anxiety and PTSD symptomatology, as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI; Beck, Epstein, Brown, & Steer, 1988) and PTSD Checklist -- Civilian Version (PCL-C; Weathers, Litz, Herman, Huska, & Keane, 1993) respectively, would exhibit decreases in symptomatology with treatment. Additionally it was hypothesized that levels of experiential avoidance, as measured by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire -- Second Edition (AAQ-II; Bond et al, 2011), would decrease with treatment. Behavioral indicators of school engagement, which were expected to increase, were assessed with the Research Assessment Package for Schools -- Teacher Report (RAPS-T; Institute for Research and Reform in Education, 1998). A number of research questions were developed to examine the impact on resiliency, as measured by the Resilience Scale (RS-14; Wagnild & Young, 1990), the role of demographic variables, and whether decreases in symptomatology would occur prior to increases in student engagement.
520 $a The present study utilized a small n, AB design with follow up. Repeated measures were taken during baseline trials, the fourth, and sixth week of treatment, at the conclusion of treatment, and at six week follow up. Statistical analysis in the present study, in the form of individual quality control charts with a sigma of 1, was utilized in order to determine the possible benefits obtained from participation in the program. Additionally participant data on the BDI-II, BAI, and PCL-C was plotted on sequence charts and compared against scores on the AAQ-II and RAPS-T in order to compare trends across time.
520 $a Overall there was no support that the intervention led to a decrease in depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptomatology. Treatment was associated with increases in psychological flexibility and student engagement, however changes were not maintained through follow up. Results of this study are examined and discussed in terms of practical implications, limitations and recommendations for future research.
