Polet Milian (she/her/ella) is a California native, first-generation college student, pursuing her Ph.D. in Psychology at Texas A&M University and is currently completing her clinical internship/resident year with Cambridge Health Alliance with Harvard Medical School. She will be graduating with a Ph.D. from Texas A&M this August 2024. There she is completing the Latinx Internship track focusing on serving Spanish Speaking populations, the Health Integration Program (HIP), which is a long-term service that provides daily activities and treatment for people with chronic or serious mental illness (SMI), and Psychiatric Emergency Services.
The study examines how identity-based acculturation and place of birth influence the relationship between traumatic stress due to family separation and depression in Latine college students. It found that U.S. Identity and being foreign-born moderate this relationship, affecting depressive symptoms.
