Wisdom in time
Dynamic theories of wisdom emphasise that metacognitive attributes—intellectual humility, open-mindedness, and perspective-taking—evolve through life’s challenges and are crucial for individual and societal well-being. These attributes help mitigate issues like misinformation, polarization, and societal acrimony. Reviewing prominent wisdom models, we highlight context-dependent variations in these attributes, with implications for measurement pra…

Children's activities, parental concerns, and child care service utilization in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, most Canadian provinces and territories enacted public health measures to reduce virus spread, leading most child care centers across the country to limit or halt in-person service delivery. While it is broadly known that the range of activities available to children and youth reduced drastically as a result, research has yet to explore if and how children's activities shifted in relation…
Trajectories of psychosocial functioning and attachment behaviors among children adopted in the Ontario child welfare system
The adoption of children involved in the child welfare system is viewed as a favorable outcome when family reconstitution is impossible, partially due to the relationship security afforded by long-term placement permanence. Recognition of the importance of secure caregiver-child relationships has informed the development of caregiving-oriented attachment-focused services, such as those provided by the Therapeutic Family Care Program (TFCP). The p…
Development of an UNDRIP Compliance Assessment Tool
Improving state compliance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) can be supported by monitoring and measurement. Current approaches to monitoring state compliance with the UNDRIP are qualitative and non-standardized, which limits comparability across time and across geopolitical lines. In this article, we introduce a novel approach to monitoring compliance with the UNDRIP and human rights more generally.…
Refugee Children and Families During the Covid-19 Crisis
Children and families are undergoing unprecedented stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part, due to the disruption of daily life arising from mandated social distancing protocols. As such, the purpose of the present report is to raise awareness surrounding resilience-challenging and resilience-promoting factors for refugee children and families during the COVID-19 crisis. Issues surrounding family life, parenting, and potential for fa…
Unsettling the Settlers
In this paper we discuss the ongoing colonial relationship between Indigenous and non‐Indigenous peoples in Canada with a consideration of how to align the principles and core values of community psychology in relation to Indigenous rights, decolonization, and social justice. In working with Community Psychology values to address issues of social justice it is necessary to recognize that empowerment alone is only one half of the solution. While o…
