Relationship-based practice training and youth outcomes
When asked about their experiences of services, young people often said that they were lucky when their social workers built a positive relationship with them, suggesting such experiences were not common. Yet the quality of the relationship between social workers and youth is a strong predictor of positive outcomes, indicating that while relationship-based practice (RBP) is key to youth outcomes, there is a need for specific training that builds …
Psychometric validation and optimal cut-point determination of the Hausa WHO-5 well-being index for depression screening among internally displaced persons
Depression remains underrecognized among internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria, where access to mental health and psychosocial support is limited. This study assessed the reliability, validity, and cutoff performance of the Hausa WHO-5 Well-Being Index for identifying probable moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms among IDPs in Abuja, Nigeria. A total of 264 IDPs completed the Hausa WHO-5 and PHQ-9. Internal consistency was evaluated us…
Developing a Deliberative-Delphi Method for Informing National Conservation Capacity Development Strategies
Conservation governance requires inter-disciplinary approaches aimed at bridging science, management, and policy divides, which introduces capacity development challenges in developing countries. In particular, there is a need to establish how best to direct capacity development efforts in order to achieve long-term conservation benefits. To help meet this challenge, a deliberative-Delphi method was developed and tested in Namibia based on an int…
Facing the violence, a virus and a president
The article aimed to develop an argumentative reflection on how the positions of the former Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, may have had negative effects on the lives of women exposed to violence and the risk of femicide, especially considering the pandemic period. First, advances in recent decades in terms of legislation and programs to protect women victims of violence in Brazil are described. Next, we discuss how Bolsonaro’s policies, suc…
Enfrentando a violência, um vírus e um presidente

Primeiramente, são descritos os avanços das últimas décadas em termos de legislação e programas de proteção às mulheres vítimas de violência no Brasil. Em s…
Creating equilibrium
This paper uses critical realism to identify mechanisms that activate successful relationships. It draws data from a longitudinal, mixed‐methods study of youth who used multiple services. It examines functionality of four relational mechanisms: power, recognition, responsiveness and mutuality that lead to positive change and explores the implications of these for practice with youth with complex needs
Relational Resources for Change - New Futures for Youth With Complex Needs
This research project creates and tests sets of resources that support practitioners to build effective change-focused relationships with young people. It does this using a Community of Practice (CoP) approach that brings together researchers, social sector and tangata whenua (indigenous) practitioners and international experts. The research has three steps: (1) Development of prototype resources; (2) Testing the prototype to confirm usability an…

Qualitative description (QD) offers an accessible entry point for master's-level students and research trainees embarking on a qualitative research learning journey, emphasizing direct, rich descriptions of experiences and events without extensive theorization or abstraction. This method, rooted in naturalistic inquiry, allows for flexibility in theoretical approaches, sampling techniques, and data collection strategies, making it well-suited for…
Two-eyed Seeing for youth wellness
Despite the challenges facing Indigenous youth and their communities due to historical and contemporary institutionalised racism in Canada, communities are drawing on the richness of their own histories to reassert their cultural heritage. Doing so supports mental health outcomes of young people in particular, as highlighted in a compelling body of research. The question facing many communities, however, is how they can facilitate such child and …
Hitting to Teach is One Thing, but to Hurt is a Different Thing, isn't it
Using a qualitative case study approach, this study aimed to investigate the family context in the childhood of adults who themselves have been violent toward their own children. The study, conducted in Brazil, included the participation of three adults, of both genders, who were neglectful as well as physically and psychologically violent toward their children. Data collection was carried out using the Interview About the Past of Parents (IAPP) …
Resilience and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The core intent of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to provide a framework to promote a more sustainable future for all, accounting for challenges faced globally. Consequently, these goals echo resilience and other research focused on child and youth outcomes. Using a systems theory framework, we review how the SDGs can be considered as a facilitator of positive mental health outcomes. We begin by reviewing current understandings of ch…
A Photovoice Exploration of the Lived Experience of Intersectional Stigma among People Living with HIV
Reconsidering interactive resilience processes in mental health
Research consistently demonstrates resilience as an interactive process, drawing on personal assets together with relational and contextual resources, to support improved outcomes in contexts of nonnormative adversity. What remains unclear are the dynamics of this process and what drives it. This article draws on a prior scoping review of the literature to conceptually explore the positioning of the individual within this dynamic interplay of ris…
Reflecting on the Losses and Gains of an Unorthodox Year
Extending Youth Voices in a Participatory Thematic Analysis Approach
Recent decades have seen a more thoughtful discussion regarding the inclusion of children and youth in research and decision making, challenging how we conduct child and youth-focused studies. Included is a focus on Youth Participatory Action Research approaches and how they facilitate engagement of child and youth voice. Similarly, there is a smaller yet equally important questioning of how we understand 'voice,' drawing attention to the concept…

Spaces & Places
Indigenous youth continue to live with a socioeconomic and political legacy of colonization and marginalization, confronted by environments harmful to their psychosocial development. Resource strained communities may compound these experiences and outcomes for many youth. Increasingly, research points to the mitigating effects of resilience for youth exposed to contextual risks. Resilience is however dependent on both personal capacities and the …

The visual image as discussion point
This article is based on a larger study exploring the use of visual methods as a communication tool in research where the researcher is often a ‘border crosser’ (Giroux, 1992). To illustrate the value of this methodology, particularly in instances where power imbalances are heightened in the research context, a case study was conducted with five teenage mothers from a sub-economic community outside Cape Town, South Africa. This article will explo…
Neo-Liberalism and Responsibilisation in the Discourse of Social Service Workers
In this paper, we explore the ways in which child welfare, adolescent mental health and juvenile justice service providers engage in processes of responsibilisation. Drawing on qualitative data gathered from service files of youth receiving concurrent services from child welfare, corrections and mental health services, this article will discuss how a neo-liberal approach to service is reflected in the case notes of front line staff. Analysis reve…

Meaningful Engagement of Indigenous Youth in PAR
This article presents the process used in a Participatory Research Project with Canadian Indigenous youth aimed at understanding their civic and cultural engagement. Specifically, we reflect on the approach taken, together with the core role of community partners in facilitating youth participation in this project. The process we used had three key aspects which facilitated effective youth engagement. First was flexibility and adaptability of the…
I Have Strong Hopes for the Future
In this article, we demonstrate how concepts of time and the future inform processes of resilience among Indigenous adolescents within an urban Canadian context. This study employed a modified grounded theory methodology by conducting 38 qualitative interviews with 28 Indigenous youth (ages 15-25) over the course of 1 year. The analysis revealed complex processes of and navigations between moments of distress and strategies for resilience. The di…
In This Together
This article explores what it means to engage youth in meaningful dissemination of research findings. To do so, the authors (a group of academic researchers and youth collaborators, aged 14-18) consider their experience working together on the Spaces & Places research project, a participatory visual methods research program that took place in Eskasoni, a Mi'kmaq community in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. Over the course of the project, we developed …

Validation of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (Cyrm-28) on a Sample of At-Risk New Zealand Youth
Purpose: This article reports on an examination of the psychometric properties of the 28-item Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28). Methods: Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s α, t-tests, correlations, and multivariate analysis of variance were applied to data collected via interviews from 593 at-risk adolescents (12–17 years) to identify the factor structure, internal consistency, test–retest reliabilit…
Using video observation and photo elicitation interviews to understand obscured processes in the lives of youth resilience
Despite the increased effort to understand resilience processes in the lives of youth, the homogeneity of a largely westernized concept needs to be challenged in studies by incorporating meanings of resilience more relevant to youth around the globe. This requires a reconsideration of the methods used to study youth resilience. This article outlines the interactive dialogical process involved in visual elicitation methods that combine moving and …
A 'Day in the Lives' of Four Resilient Youths
Grounded in the examples of four impoverished, relocated youths (two Sesotho-speaking orphans in South Africa and two Mexican immigrants in Canada), we explore cultural factors as potential roots of resilience. We triangulate rich qualitative findings (visual, dialogical, and observational) to foreground the particular, as well as acknowledge the universal, in explicating resilience in transitional contexts. Resilience-promoting cultural practice…

(Micro)mobility, disability and resilience
This paper explores the daily (micro)mobilities that youth with a visual or auditory impairment use to sustain well-being. Geographical research suggests that mobility is a universal phenomenon referred to the capacity to navigate one’s way through different spaces and places. Using a qualitative cross-cultural, visual methods approach to research with vulnerable youth, including four participants with visual or auditory impairments, we demonstra…
Visual Perspectives on Majority‐World Adolescent Thriving
This paper offers socio‐ecological, situated perspectives on adolescent resilience derived from an application of interpretive visual methodologies to deepen understanding of adaptive youth development in diverse majority‐world cultural contexts ( S outh A frica, T hailand, C hina, M exican migration to C anada). The research is not “cross‐cultural”; by contrast, it situates youth engagement contextually, using local perspectives, especially pers…
Peer paradox
The contribution peer relationships make to positive adolescent development is well recognized. Accordingly, peer problem measures typically assess youth with few age‐appropriate peers as having peer problems. Yet, youth facing high levels of personal and/or social adversity may reduce their association with antisocial peers as part of coping or risk mitigation strategies. While such strategies will result in higher scores on peer problem measure…

Distinguishing Differences in Pathways to Resilience Among Canadian Youth
As part of an 11-country qualitative study of resilience among at-risk youth, 19 Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadian adolescents were interviewed. In this paper, we report on the Canadian youths' culturally specific and generic strategies to cope with adversity. Findings suggest that the youths' resilience, or capacity to cope under stress, reflects different degrees of access to 7 mental health-enhancing experiences (we term these “tensions”)…

Analysing image-based data using grounded theory
The use of image-based methods in social science research is gaining increasing prominence, with much being written about the implementation of these methods in the field. To date however, little has been published regarding the integration of analysis frameworks and images. Increasingly, images are being used in research with marginalised and historically silenced communities as a means of accessing experiences and processes previously unarticul…
Rethinking late and lost to follow-up participants
This article examines the demographic characteristics of youth who were interviewed on time, located late or lost for a second interview in a three-year study of vulnerable adolescents called the New Zealand youth transitions study. It reports on the results of an analysis to determine whether or not the considerable effort invested in trying to locate these youth three times made a difference to the quality of the data. Chi-Square test, Fisher's…
