The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities due to systemic health disparities based on race, ethnicity, and systemic inequities. Among extent literature on BIPOC mental health and COVID-19, there is a pressing need for culturally responsive, trauma-informed treatment approaches that go beyond the broader impacts of the pandemic or immediate pandemic-rel…

Background While there is significant research describing Central American mother's exp…
A place where my children could learn to read, write, and play’: The search for early care and education among undocumented Central American immigrant mothers
Getting Creative with Data: Managing Relationships and Quantitative Proof in an Indian NGO
While many scholars have documented how the pursuit of objective data reshapes relationships, I show how relationships can also affect how people interact with data. The donors and managers of a nongovernmental organization (NGO) in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas were most invested in their relationships with one another. These ties required quantitative data to act as proof that development was happening and money was well spent in the ab…
Central American Immigrant Mothers' Mental Health in the Context of Illegality: Structural Stress, Parental Concern, and Trauma
Using a community-based participatory research approach, we surveyed 134 undocumented Central American immigrant mothers to examine correlates of maternal mental health. Drawing upon an ecosystemic framework, predictors of depression included structural and familial stressors, parental concerns, and maternal health factors. Mothers' perceptions of child affect, traumatic stress, and general health ratings were among the most salient predictors. H…
Unstable solutions: Making development seem to work for everyone in Uttarakhand, India
Policy scholarship has largely studied implementation as performed by government bureaucracies in advanced democracies where a specific configuration of power dominates, thus shaping frontline workers’ policy improvisations. By exploring how development policy is implemented at an Indian-run non-governmental organization (NGO), this article reveals how differently improvisation may unfold when the distribution of power changes. In this NGO, the t…
Parenting Across Two Worlds: Low-Income Latina Immigrants' Adaptation to Motherhood in the United States
This study explored how low-income documented and undocumented Latina immigrant mothers negotiate motherhood and adapt to life in new cultural and structural contexts. Grounded in ecocultural theory, we analyzed data from 21 in-depth interviews with Latina immigrant mothers to surface how their experiences of motherhood in the United States were shaped by their country of origin experiences and their situatedness in the United States. We document…
Immigrant Family Resilience in Context: Using a Community‐Based Approach to Build a New Conceptual Model
Immigrant families settling in the United States face pressures to acculturate and become self‐sufficient, yet their lives are highly regulated by restrictive and punitive policies and programs that may hinder their ability to cope with exposure to trauma and to build resilience. We theorize that U.S. policies and practices may exacerbate immigration‐related trauma experiences and/or create new traumas and stressors for families. To demonstrate o…

Eco-webbing is a teaching strategy that can be used to help counselor educators integrate a social justice focus into their courses.

Liberation‐focused Community Outreach: A Qualitative Exploration of Peer Group Supervision During Disaster Response
While it is clear that community outreach and disaster response must include cultural and social justice competence, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the process by which this can occur. Guided by liberation psychology, this qualitative study examined the peer group supervision process of psychologists and counselors providing outreach to Haitian communities in Florida after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The findings suggest that peer sup…
A Qualitative Examination of the Impact of Culturally Responsive Educational Practices on the Psychological Well-Being of Students of Color
Traumatic stress, socioeconomic status, and academic achievement among primary school students

Using a sample of 5th-grade students from the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998–99 database, we used regression analyses to determine whether traumatic stress and SES influenced achieveme…
