Examining youth participatory action research as a context to disrupt implicit bias in African American adolescent girls
Youth participatory action research (YPAR) projects are powerful developmental contexts for important lessons in identity, power, stereotypes, and bias. African American girls develop in a society that devalues and often stigmatizes their racial and gendered identity. Although studies have shown that African American girls score high on self-esteem measures, they are still vulnerable to internalizing societal biases associated with their race and…
Enhancing the therapeutic alliance with African American clients
Significant challenges like stigma and disparities prevent African Americans from entering counseling. Additionally, discrimination and racism might exacerbate anxieties around help-seeking. However, openly expressing their stories of racism and oppression in counseling increases the therapeutic alliance and creates a safe space for healing and trust. We introduce a critical race theoretical approach to support counselors as they navigate difficu…
Demographics, Stigma, and Religious Coping and Christian African Americans’ Help Seeking
This study investigated the relationship between demographic characteristics, mental health treatment stigma, religious coping, and help seeking among a sample of 488 Christian African Americans. The results indicated that religious coping, both negative and positive, accounted for a significant portion of variance and explained trends in lifetime counseling attendance above and beyond that explained by demographic characteristics and mental heal…
The Impact of Participating in a Juvenile Offender Mentorship Course on Students’ Perceptions of the Legal System and Juvenile Offenders
The current study examined how a mentorship course, whereby students work with juvenile offenders, influenced their perceptions of the legal system and juvenile offenders. Undergraduate students (N = 13) enrolled in a course centered around mentoring juvenile offenders. Students attended lecture to learn the theoretical and conceptual background of juvenile justice and juvenile offenders. Additionally, students were expected to meet with their me…
Exploring the Influence of Attitude and Stigma on Participation of African American and Latino Populations in Mental Health Services
Various factors, including mistrust and disparities, prevent people of color from taking advantage of mental health services. Previous research has focused on mistrust, disparities, and stigma. However, little is understood about how one's attitude affects participation in mental health. The authors surveyed 129 African American and Latino community participants to examine the relationships among attitudes, stigma, and help-seeking behavior. Line…
Examining Passive and Active Recruitment Methods for Low-Income Couples in Relationship Education
One of the most difficult aspects of studying low-income couples is the effective implementation of recruitment and retention strategies. Low-income couples face environmental stressors that make participation difficult, and research has yet to identify efficacious methods of recruiting and retaining low-income couples into funded studies. Researchers and practitioners targeting low-income participants rely on a “learn-as-they-go” approach. There…
