Unsettling and rerooting psychological practice in schools: Part 1 - Overview of colonization and its influence on school psychology
Unsettling and rerooting psychological practice in schools: Part 2 - Decolonization and indigenization of school psychology as liberatory praxis
Social justice initiatives often ignore or minimize the concepts, processes, and realities of colonialism, decolonization, or Indigenization. In Part 1, we overviewed colonialism and how it shapes school psychology and limits the potential of equity and social justice initiatives to promote inclusive liberation. We argued that decolonization and Indigenization are necessary for liberatory futures. In Part 2, we define Indigenization and decoloniz…
Sexual and gender diverse youth's marginalization in school based sex education and development of adaptive competencies
One uniquely marginalizing school environment for sexual and gender diverse (SGD) youth is school based sex education (SBSE). While research has documented the negative sexual and mental health impacts these marginalizing environments can have for SGD youth, we know less about the developmental competencies that this population of youth exercises to survive in and cope with these environments. In this paper, we aim to answer the following questio…
Exploring the experiences and responses of LGBTQ+ adolescents to school‐based sexuality education
The purpose of this study is to describe the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, two spirit, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth with school‐based sexuality education (SBSE), as well as to document strategies LGBTQ+ youth are using to address their evolving and specific sexual health needs outside of SBSE. Researchers conducted focus groups with 17 adolescents (ages 14–18) from urban and suburban Midwestern cities. Res…
A multicultural, gender, and sexually diverse affirming school‐based consultation framework
Gender and sexually diverse (GSD) students face unique challenges in schools due to the privileging of cisgender and heterosexist norms in these settings. In particular, GSD youth who belong to ethnically and racially minoritized groups face further challenges within school environments that disregard their cultural contexts and intersectional identities. It is important for school psychologists to ensure safe and high‐quality mental health, educ…
The roles of school in supporting LGBTQ+ youth: A systematic review and ecological framework for understanding risk for suicide-related thoughts and behaviors
The omission and minimisation of sexual decision-making skills in US sex education textbooks
Decision-making has been identified as one of the most important skillsets in sexual health. This exploratory qualitative study explored how US middle and high school textbooks integrate the recommended sexual health decision-making skills recommended by Future of Sex Education (FOSE), a collaboration of organisations in the USA supporting comprehensive sex education. Using content analysis, we assessed 13 U.S. middle and high school health educa…
A mixed‐method analysis of the implementation process of universal screening in a tiered mental health system
Schools are encouraged to take a proactive approach to mental health through the use of a tiered system of supports facilitated by universal mental health screening. However, schools may experience difficulty implementing universal screening and large‐scale systems change. The purpose of this study was to explore multilevel implementation determinants, identify strategies that aided implementation, and examine how implementation determinants and …
Preserving Abstinence and Preventing Rape: How Sex Education Textbooks Contribute to Rape Culture
Experiences of Arab heritage youth in US schools and impact on identity development
To fulfill the promise of inclusive school environments that support all students, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms by which discrimination and support occur in the school setting and how these mechanisms impact student development. The current study explored ways schools facilitate supportive or marginalizing experiences for first generation Arab heritage youth in the United States and investigated how these experiences impact accult…
School-Based Interventions for Reducing Youths’ Racial and Ethnic Prejudice
Minoritized youth encounter racial and ethnic prejudice and discrimination in a variety of settings, including schools. Prejudice refers to harboring negative attitudes and beliefs toward targeted social groups; discrimination reflects translating those attitudes into actions that marginalize targeted groups. Exposure to racial and ethnic discrimination has been associated with numerous detrimental outcomes for youth, including poorer mental heal…
