Middle marvels: A review of middle-school-based mentoring to support youth
Adolescence is accompanied by myriad biological, psychological, and social changes, and has been recognized as a meaningful period to provide intervention and prevention services to promote positive development. Youth mentoring in school-based or adjacent programs has been recognized for its ability to reach and serve adolescents; however, this literature may be refined through more earnest and targeted study. As such, the present paper provides …
From stress to support: Developing a transparent and inclusive mentor–mentee agreement tool for graduate training
What predicts children’s perceptions of intergroup connections within the classroom: A social networks-based approach
Intergroup connections play a role in fostering positive developmental outcomes. Scholarship has been limited in exploring children's perceptions of such relationships. We apply cognitive social structures and network assortativity coefficients to capture third through eighth grade children's perceptions of intergroup connections related to gender, socio-economic status, and race/ethnicity within their classroom networks. Of the 99 participants, …
The efficacy and usability of motivational interviewing just‐in‐time trainings for youth mentors
Using youth mentors to deliver evidence‐based psychosocial services has been proposed to increase the reach of treatments, in part given the affordability and ubiquity of mentors in youth settings. Further, tests of mentor‐delivered motivational interviewing (MI) have shown increases in youth mentees' academic performance and wellbeing. Yet, traditional methods of training mentors to use MI can be costly and time‐consuming. Previous work has sugg…
Stories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) among older adults living with HIV (Oalh) in South Carolina: A qualitative study
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) devastatingly impacts an individual's behavioral, psychological, and social health. Childhood, a developmental stage directly influenced by the home or school environment, leaves a life-long imprint. Compared with the general population, CSA prevalence is doubled among people living with HIV. Thus, the study aimed to explore CSA circumstances among older adults living with HIV (OALH) in South Carolina (SC). We include…
“Is it worth living?” psychosocial challenges of childhood sexual abuse survivors aging with HIV
Older adults living with HIV (OALH) undergo challenges such as comorbidities, social isolation, and "double stigma" associated with their HIV and aging statuses. Simultaneously, research has shown that experiences of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) continue to impact the quality of life across the lifespan and may pose unique hardships for older adults. Despite the high prevalence of trauma among people living with HIV, research examining the psycho…
Gender and coping with HIV: A qualitative study of older childhood sexual abuse survivors living with HIV
People living with HIV often have complex identities and histories. Understanding how these experiences influence adherence to treatment and quality of life are critical to the HIV care. The experiences of older adults living with HIV are uniquely embedded within biology and aging as well as gender. This study described the gendered strategies for coping with HIV among older adults who are childhood sexual abuse survivors. Audio-recorded semi-str…
Expanding the reach of psychosocial services for youth: Untapped potential of mentor‐delivered single session interventions
At present, the mental healthcare system cannot meet the demand for services, and the need‐to‐access gap is widest among children and adolescents. Single session interventions (SSIs) are brief, intentional, and mechanism‐targeted programs that have shown promise in increasing the reach of effective, evidence‐based services; yet, a wide gap still remains due to structural barriers (e.g., lack of awareness, workforce shortages). The present paper p…

Located in a Northern California Sundown Town, the authors utilize focus groups, Photovoice data, and critical ethnography to document organiza…
Strengthening and Expanding Child Services in Low Resource Communities: The Role of Task‐Shifting and Just‐in‐Time Training
In the United States, the demand for child mental health services is increasing, while the supply is limited by workforce shortages. These shortages are unlikely to be corrected without significant structural changes in how mental health services are provided. One strategy for bridging this gap is task‐shifting , defined as a process by which services that are typically delivered by professionals are moved to individuals with less extensive quali…
