Addressing secondary traumatic stress, burnout, resilience and turnover in the child welfare workforce
Adult mental health and child maltreatment
This ecological, county‐level, cross‐sectional study examines relationships between the mental health of adults (IV) and child maltreatment report rates (DV), as they vary by socioeconomic distress and rurality ( n = 3015 counties), using the most recent available data from several linked sources. In a two‐way model, maltreatment reports increased 20.1% for each additional half day of poor mental health in metro counties, 11.7% in nonmetro counti…
Child welfare in non‐metro and rural communities
The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges and strengths that child welfare professionals experience in non‐metro areas, with a secondary focus on how they encounter and respond to substance use in families and communities. We conducted three focus groups in non‐metro counties ( n = 35). We used thematic analysis supported by Dedoose, beginning with line by line coding, then thematic identification and mapping. Emergent themes focused…
The Challenges and Resources of Adoptive and Long-Term Foster Parents of Children with Trauma Histories
Adoption can be an important protective factor for foster children; however, if adoptive parents are not adequately prepared to deal with trauma-based difficulties, such children remain at risk for negative outcomes. The present study used mixed methods to access the lived experiences of parents adopting children from foster care. Results indicated that adopted children’s behavioral difficulties strongly contributed to parental stress. However, n…
Intergenerational Continuity of Risk
Objective: Children exposed to maltreatment are a vulnerable population with disproportionately high rates of adverse outcomes, including internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Parental risk characteristics, such as poor mental health, may help to explain the health and developmental trajectories of children who have experienced maltreatment. This study examined the hypothesis that specific parenting behaviors mediate the association …
Keeping youth in the community through an intensive case management and family partnerships model
The Family Partnerships Program (FPP) is an intensive case management model that serves families with child welfare and juvenile justice involved youth who are at imminent risk of out-of-home placement. FPP is based on the belief that relationships, both with families and across systems, is foundational when supporting change with youth. Propensity score matching was utilized to determine if FPP is related to improved child welfare re-involvement…

A Method for Articulating Grassroots Community Organizing Outcomes
Concept mapping (Trochim, ) was used to visually articulate the full range of organizing outcomes from a grassroots community organization (GCO) in a western United States city. Outcomes belong to five general categories: (a) victories, (b) personal development, (c) public leadership skills, (d) organizational relationships with power people, and (e) building an organizational culture of civic engagement. Results from the concept map have been tr…
