abstract="Mental health practitioners have offered relatively little in response to the pervasive community violence faced by many children living in impoverished neighborhoods. The &quot;neighborhood club&quot; is a school-based, short-term, support group designed to assist children with the psychological impact of exposure to community violence. Ten &quot;neighborhood clubs&quot; were conducted in two public elementary schools in Detroit, Michigan. This paper reviews the implementation of a bilingual &quot;neighborhood club,&quot; undertaken to better serve the Spanish-speaking Latino students in a school community. We discuss many of the rewards and challenges of conducting a bilingual, multicultural support group for children and conclude that a bilingual support group provides all children with a model that validates ethnic and cultural diversity while also building empathic bonds based on mutually-reinforcing, common experiences.   <p></p>  <p>Language: en</p>",
