Does the experience of mentoring youth affect mentors' mental health and wellbeing
Engaging in positive campus opportunities amid stress or strain may help support college student mental health and wellbeing. This study examined whether participating in a service-learning course as mentors to youth exposed to adversities was related to college students' mental health and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants (N = 548; 18-41 years old; M age = 20.03) included 112 college student mentors enrolled in the service-lea…
An Examination of the Lived Experiences of College Student Mentors and Their Experiences of Flourishing in a Youth Mentoring Program
This study examined college students' perceptions about whether volunteering as a youth mentor impacts their experience of flourishing. The aim was to examine how specific experiences in the mentoring program (e.g., relationships with staff and peers, belonging to an organization, and skill development) may lead to flourishing. This study was conducted using a phenomenological study design and was guided by the broaden‐and‐build theory of positiv…
Lost in Translation
Translational science has specific stages outlined by the National Institute of Health. Systemic family therapy (SFT) researchers do not seem to explicitly embrace this paradigm, though many are actively adding to the discipline’s empirically supported intervention base. We discuss the role of translational science in the landscape of SFT research. We report the findings of a case study review of a year’s worth of SFT scholarship. We make recomme…

These findings suggest that those who are able to deepen connections with others, tap into their inner strengths, gain new perspectives and a new appreciation for life, and connect to spirituality not only grow but are more likely to report flourishing. Contributing empirical evidence to the reliability (α =.91) and validity of the Flourishing Scale for Black college students, our findings also have implications for educators and clinicians inter…

The Emergence of Racialized Labor and Racial Battle Fatigue in the African American Student Network (Afam)
Although little may be new with respect to the lived experience of racialized labor for People of Color navigating whiteness and white spaces, this study is the first to identify racialized labor in everyday life. Adapting consensual qualitative research methods to a phenomenological frame, we examined 277 notes summarizing weekly discussions in the African American Student Network (AFAM) over a 13-year time period. Co-facilitated by Black facult…
