Objective: Historical as well as ongoing sociocultural and sociopolitical contexts deeply affect trauma exposure and recovery among Latine immigrants.Violent immigration policies, xenophobia and racism, as well as social disadvantages all contribute to a high trauma burden among Latine immigrants in the United States.However, Latine immigrants also display deep resilience and strengths that support their continued survival in these contexts-a phenomenon we call soul endurance.Method: The justice-based interdisciplinary thriving framework is a novel approach, grounded in clinical observation and research, for conceptualizing trauma recovery among Latine immigrants, addressing their lived realities while leveraging key strengths.Results: Key elements of this framework include integrating multiple disciplines into trauma treatment, employing culturally responsive treatment modalities, and designing treatments that address not only individual-but also community-level needs.Conclusions: The overarching goal of this framework is to promote trauma healing in the Latine immigrant community, which represents a more holistic and tailored approach to trauma treatment.By taking a justice-oriented, interdisciplinary approach, we aim to promote thriving rather than merely surviving among Latine immigrants. Clinical Impact StatementThis article introduces the justice-based interdisciplinary thriving framework to help trauma recovery teams support Latine immigrants experiencing intersecting sociopolitical and ongoing trauma.This approach is important for practice as it guides providers to move beyond siloed care, honor resilience and lived experience, and work collaboratively with communities to support healing in the current antiimmigrant climate.
