Unfortunately, immigrants often assimilate to some of the more negative parts of American culture which include a higher divorce rate. This article highlights the need for counselors that are proficient in languages other than English.

Excerpt from the source article in the Star-Telegram:
“America’s immigrants have more enduring marriages than U.S. citizens, but experts say they cannot be considered reinforcements in the battle to maintain the traditional family in this country.

“As they are assimilated and they learn our ways, they learn our divorce rate,” said Diane Sollee, director of the Coalition for Marriage Family and Couples Education in Washington, D.C. “They catch up with our divorce rate. It’s contagious.”
