Aligning state discipline and mental health policies with trauma and Jedi-Informed suicide prevention for Black youth
School‐based mental health supports during Covid‐19
The present study explored the ways school professionals adapted school‐based mental health supports and services for remote delivery during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. We surveyed 81 school professionals (e.g., counselors, psychologists, and social workers) and conducted in‐depth interviews with a subsample of professionals ( n = 14) to explore their perceptions and experiences of supporting youth with mental health concern…
The roles of school in supporting LGBTQ+ youth
Grappling with race
This study examined counselors' openness to discussing issues of race, ethnicity, and culture by setting (e.g., school, clinical mental health, and counselor trainee) using the Broaching Attitudes and Behavior Scale. School counselors and White counselors reported significantly higher mean scores on the Avoidant subscale, a measure of counselors' perceptions that discussions about race, ethnicity, and culture are unwarranted. Significant main eff…
Hidden behind the model minority stereotype
We investigated the relationship between Asian parent empowerment and their children's college enrollment in a sample of 357 Asian parents from various ethnic subgroups using the High School Longitudinal Study 2009. A multinomial logistic regression indicated differences in Asian students' college enrollment by ethnic subgroup and income and in the role of personal and community parent empowerment in college enrollment. The results indicate the d…
Citizens, Representatives, and the Myth of the Decision-Making Divide
The Broaching Attitudes and Behavior Survey (Babs)
The continuum of broaching behavior is a conceptual framework explicating how counselors broach or have explicit discussions about racial, ethnic, and cultural factors with their clients during treatment (Day-Vines et al., 2007). Counselors can assume 5 particular broaching orientations: avoidant, isolating, continuing/incongruent, integrated/congruent, and infusing. The authors operationalized the continuum of broaching behavior using the Broach…
A Social Justice Approach to School Counseling
Based on the 2010 Multicultural-Social Justice Leadership Development academy presentation, this article focuses on how school counselors can collaborate with critical stakeholders to help mitigate barriers to academic success for low-income students and students of color. The overarching goal of the presentation was to define social justice, collaboration, and present a multicultural-social justice approach to school-family-community collaborati…
Nudging Students' Creative Problem-Solving Skills
People often make choices that go against their own best interests. In the controversial bestseller Nudge, Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein argue that people can benefit from simple “nudges” to improve their decision-making. In an upper-level undergraduate course on political decision-making, I created a series of assignments around Nudge. In the project, students designed their own “nudges” to solve a variety of political and social problems. St…
