    Open AccessTravonne Edwards, Bryn King et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2026Referencias: 87

    Colonialism has shaped the use of physical discipline for some Black parents • Zero-tolerance positions for physical discipline were arbitrarily employed. • Black families are being reported for the threat of physical discipline by schools. • Black families should be supported rather than being reported as an intervention.

More recently, research has focused on the cyberworld as a new avenue for abuse against workers. Employing an online survey, this research sought to compare the experiences and effects of in-person violence and cybervi…

  • Mindfulness and cognitive training interventions that address intersecting cognitive and aging needs of older adults

    Open AccessAllen Eaton, Sean B Rourke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work2024

    Mindfulness and cognitive training interventions are promising models to address impacts (e.g., anxiety and stress) of cognitive impairment among older adults. Combining strategies may yield better outcomes than models offered in isolation. However, there are numerous uncertainties about these interventions, potential for combination, and implementation. Social workers are well placed to offer these interventions. Findings From an initial search …

  • Co-developing culturally grounded early years programming with Indigenous communities

    Open AccessM Tremblay, Chloe Ferguson et al.ARTICLEContemporary Issues in Early…2024

    Although early childhood programs designed for Indigenous children exist in Canada and elsewhere, there remains a need for program development and implementation to be sustainable, evidence-based, and foundationally grounded in (rather than peripherally inclusive of) Indigenous cultures and languages. Overall, little is known about how to develop sustainable, communitygrounded early childhood programs that address the structural inequities and he…

  • Provoking Reflection in Action in Experienced Practitioners

    Cheryl Regehr, Marion Bogo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work Education2024

    Stress experienced during high-risk decision-making may impair performance, but can also be a cue, provoking the move from intuitive and automatic application of expertise to reflective and deliberative approaches. This article reports an exploratory intervention designed to provoke reflection-in-action and, ultimately, to improve practice decision making in experienced clinicians. The intervention combined: classroom-based education on decision-…

  • Understanding the roles of the healthcare and child welfare systems in promoting the safety and well-being of children

    Open AccessNicolette Joh-Carnella, Eliza Livingston et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Our core finding was a reported lack of communication between the groups of professionals. Other identified barriers in collaboration included a lack of understanding of each other's roles, hesitation for healthcare providers making reports, as well as legacies of harm and systemic inequities in both institutions. Future research should build on this examination by including the voices of healthcare providers and child welfare workers to identify…

  • Exploring Organizational Learning, Risk, and Psychological Safety

    Kristen Lwin, Barbara Fallon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Child Welfare2023Referencias: 6

    Child welfare workers and organizations are the direct link between legislation and families, thus, key to service effectiveness. However, little is known about the role of organizational learning, risk tolerance, and psychological safety, especially in Canadian child welfare. The aim of this study is to identify senior leaders’ perceptions of these constructs in the context of child welfare service delivery and family outcomes. This qualitative …

  • Responding to social and emotional vulnerability

    Open AccessBryn King, Barbara Fallon et al.ARTICLEChild & Family Social Work2023Referencias: 3

    In 2018, the child welfare system in Ontario, Canada, expanded the age of protection to include 16 and 17 year olds for the purpose of mitigating risk of harm for older adolescents. To date, there is little information regarding investigations of older adolescents, particularly in Ontario; this study will address this gap. Data used for this analysis were drawn from the Ontario Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect‐2018. The Ontario…

    The goal of this study, the first of its kind in Canada, was to estimate the child lifetime prevalence of child protection involvement in Quebec. Using administrative and population data spanning 17 years, we performed a survival analysis of initial incidents of child protection reports, confirmed reports, confirmation of a child's security or development being compromised, and placement outside the home for one day or more.

To better understand the factors that drive clinical decision making in situations of risk and uncertainty, we used a design-based research framework to pilot a new approach for improving professional decision making. The programme, which combined simulated interviews, a m…

  • Tolerating Risk

    Cheryl Regehr, Jane Paterson et al.ARTICLESocial Service Review2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    As a leading cause of death among those suffering from mental health problems, suicide is an issue that challenges policy makers, organizations, and practitioners alike. One outcome has been the implementation of standardized decision-making tools, developed through actuarial methods and aimed at limiting risks inherent in professional judgments. However, despite legislative and policy attempts to standardize the outcomes of risk assessment, prof…

    Open AccessKristina Nikolova, Barbara Fallon et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 33

    Over the past 20 years, Ontario child welfare agencies have seen an exponential increase in referrals for exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) for children. Using a mixed methods approach, this paper examines the causes and consequences of the exponential increase in the incidence rates of IPV exposure between 1993 and 2013, providing important context for a maltreatment type that is not well understood in Ontario. The incidence of investi…
