This presentation examines the emotional well-being of Hispanic immigrants. Utilizing a cross-sectional survey of 198 Hispanic immigrants, a multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to explore how these factors influence emotional well-being. Findings indicate significant relationships between traumatic experiences, acculturative stress, religious coping strategies, and avoidant coping styles.
