Perceived social support correlated with parent mental health: Self-report among urban immigrant parents of young children (Birth-5)
Court-level stakeholders’ reunification decisions and perceived role in parents’ readiness to support early emotional development post-abuse and/or neglect
Caregiver – child dyads exist within systems that may reinforce and/or establish structures to support holistic needs, awareness of roles, and capacity-building efforts. Systems can be challenged in fortifying such structures, however, following substantiated abuse and/or neglect. In the current study, the author surveyed 27 family court judges and judicial hearing officers collectively presiding over ~2800 birth-5 cases (~39% response) in one Mi…
Neglecting to consider early emotional development after abuse and/or neglect: Insights and recommendations from child welfare providers
Laying a strong foundation for emotional development in children birth to 5 is of critical importance, but the extent to which this is considered following child abuse and/or neglect, foster care placement, reunification, and potential re‐entry into foster care remains unclear. Using a convergent mixed methods design, we investigated perceptions among child welfare professionals given the contributing role they could play in both initiating provi…
Support networks among immigrant parents of young children: Assessing ecologies to inform outreach efforts
Tailoring support for first and second‐generation immigrant families with young children necessitates understanding the extent to which immigrant families initiate access to community resources and perceived support from formal and informal stakeholders in their ecology. As part of an exploratory analysis, we surveyed bilingual, immigrant parents ( n = 54) in a mid‐Atlantic urban community in the United States. We examined factors that may correl…
Do the Best You Can with Resources You Have to Offer”: Community stakeholder views on supporting immigrant families
First and second‐generation immigrant families of young children in the United States face potential challenges that may be mitigated with stakeholder support in their communities. We examined self‐reported views and behaviors among professionals ( n = 76) working with families in a mid‐Atlantic urban community, and whether these views correlated with demographic factors. Over half of respondents were not able/willing to report the number of immi…
Introducing the perceived role in emotional development scale: Using indirect, reflective questioning with parental caregivers
The perceived role of caregivers in emotional development and behavior is not well understood. To encourage candid responses and reflective practice, I devised scenarios with the same phrasing (“How helpful would it be if a [caregiver] of a same-age child were to [spank]...”). Scale items were grounded in the literature, pretested by expert reviewers and mothers, and rated by 114 mothers from a low-income Head Start program. I found within-group …
