...1 Evidence-Based Counseling Interventions With Children of Divorce: Implications for Elementary School Counselors Marianne E. Connolly Johns Hopkins University Eric J. Green The Chicago School of Professional Psychology Evidence-Based Counseling 2 Abstract Parental divorce has become increasingly common for large numbers of families in schools (Lamden, King, & Goldman, 2002). This article addresses the effects of divorce on children and protective factors supporting their adjustment. Evidence-based interventions for children of divorce in elementary school counseling programs are discussed. School-based consultation, the Children of Divorce Intervention Program, and the Children’s Support Group are three evidence-based practices described. Implications for schools counselors are provided to help integrate research findings and practice. Evidence-Based Counseling 3 Evidence-Based Counseling Interventions With Children of Divorce: Implications for Elementary School Counselors Children of divorce comprise a significant portion of the U.S. school population. Each year in the United States, more than one million children experience parental divorce (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000). Projections indicate that by age 18, approximately 40% of children will experience their parents’ divorce. Because divorce affects a significant number of children, a body of empirical literature has emerged addressing its impact (Amato, 2001; Amato & Keith, 1991; Hipke...

...PARENTAL CONSENT LAWS AND ABORTION RATES AMONG MINORS PARENTAL CONSENT LAWS AND ABORTION RATES AMONG MINORS 13 Do Parental Consent Laws Reduce Abortion Rates among Minors? Dedra Burnett Louisiana Tech University HIM-541 Dr. Kennedy ? Background One of the biggest controversies in the country is parental consent regarding an abortion with a minor. Parental involvement and government laws are extremely important for the safety, welfare, and health of minors. Many minor girls become pregnant at an early age and think about having an abortion; the minor is making the choice on whether or not to go through with a pregnancy. Many states have parental consent or parental notification requirements before a minor can receive an abortion....

...Substance abuse is a growing trend amongst teenagers including those at Manchester High and being within that age group, the researcher’s interest was generated to uncover how substance abuse as a cultural habit affects one’s health. The researcher’s aim is to educate the readers about these habits and highlight the reasons youths are involved thus identifying ways to solve the problems. The researcher also aims to fulfill the outlined requirements of the CAPE Caribbean Studies course. Delimitations The research is delimited to the effects of substances abuse from the perspectives of fourth to sixth form students at Manchester High School, located at 4 Perth Road, Mandeville Manchester. The sample size chosen was twenty (20) participants between the ages of 14-20 of both genders, which are essentially fourth to sixth form students. This group was ideal as they are the most likely group who would be aware of substance abuse. The sample size was selected as it was an easy range of students to study. Definition of Key Terms Substance Abuse: Substance abuse is an unhealthy pattern of alcohol or drug use that usually leads to frequent, serious problems at home, school, or work.

...Understanding Attitudes, Stigma and Counseling Methods associated with Abortions Marsha Escayg Medgar Evers College The abortion rates in the United States is higher than that in most other developed countries. Although this fact alone requires attention, looking deeper reveals additional areas of concern. According to Greene this research is based on the different confinements on abortion that have been forced under the falsification that women may be ignorant, undecided or pressured as to their choice to end a pregnancy. Of all the health decisions women make in their lifetimes, their choice to end a pregnancy is among the most individual and socially challenged. What this article does is address the gap in knowledge by describing the counseling tools and practices at one large abortion clinic in the US. It examines how confidence in decisions making varies by demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of women and pregnancy-related attributes. Furthermore it reviews women’s responses to questions aimed at identifying those with specific beliefs about spirituality or abortion. Overall what was found was that upon arrival to the clinic women had high pre-counseling confidence in their decision to terminate their pregnancy. Abortion policies concentrates on prerequisites, for example, waiting periods, state-mandated information and parental association. These laws are focused around the premise that women are unaware of the nature of the abortion and the dangers included...

...Aaron Maxfield COU 617 Counseling Children and Adolescents Dr. Lawrence Rubin Capstone Module 4 People join gangs for many reasons, not least to fulfill the universal needs among young people for status, identity and companionship. There is some evidence to suggest low self-esteem has a significant relationship with the characteristic features of gang membership: aggression, antisocial and offending behavior. Other important psychological motivations contributing to gang membership include the need for money, protection against victimization, connectedness to others in the gang, the need for status and respect, and excitement (Madden, 2013). As a former probation officer, I was able to supervise and form relationships with a significant amount of gang members. I was able to see firsthand the risk factors that circle around the neighborhoods where gang activity was prevalent. Gang membership doesn’t just appear in a vacuum. There are so many different forces at play and risk factors that coincide with mental health problems in these environments including: low-income households, unemployment, use of illicit substances, low parental involvement, low educational attainment, and involvement in the criminal justice system. As a therapist, I realize there will be numerous mental health issues that will be challenging. There appears to be a high prevalence of conduct and antisocial personality disorders among the gang membership population. Violence before age 15 that...

...fundamental need of an individual to cope with life. And it is a basic but a very important matter that each and everyone should have. Education makes a man complete. In addition, the education is the principle means by which society carries out its national objective. And its purpose is to foster the development of each individual so that he may achieve the most satisfying life of which he is capable (Mcneil 1998). Education changes an individual. Having knowledge, an individual will have the courage to do anything. Education is the main factor to mold individuals to become what they want. It is true that schools are the primary source in having a formal education. But, not everyone can attend school due to different reasons. There are unfortunate children that could not afford to go to school not only because they are poor, but there are also other reasons that they consider in going to school. In 2009, Sallie Mae discovered that 84% of college students indicated they need a big amount of money for their education. In addition to that, Noel Levitz (2009) reported and concluded that only 46.4% of college students claimed that they had enough financial resources to finish college. Hossler (2006) cited that students have been dropping out for ever since, formal schooling has started. Since dropouts adversely affect finances and credibility of academic institutions, administrators have become increasingly concerned about the decreasing...

However, this role had neither been analyzed nor systematically studied using an experimental design until the 1960’s. The evaluation of the Head Start Program in the United States (Coleman, Campbell, Hobson, McPartland, Mod, Weinfeld, & York, 1966) fostered a national focus on outcomes related to parental involvement by suggesting a substantial relationship between parental involvement in their child’s education and their child’s success in academic domains. Subsequent studies have been presented which support the findings from Coleman, et al. (Duff & Adams, 1981; Henderson, 1987; 1988). Even so, other studies have reported either mixed or no significant differences between experimental and control groups when measuring the effect of parental involvement on student achievement (Griffith, 1996; Heller, & Fantuzzo, 1993; Henry, 1974; Keith, Reimers, Ferman, Pottenbaum, & Aubrey ,1986; Ryan, 1964; Searles, Lewis & Morrow, 1982). Some of the discrepancy across studies...

...CHILDREN`S STUDY HABITS AND PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT TIFFANY YOUNG Department of Psychology Missouri Western State University Sponsored by: BRIAN CRONK (cronk@missouriwestern.edu) ABSTRACT Children`s study habits have been related to parental involvement for many years. Parental involvement includes many different situational factors, such as, how much time a parent studies with their child, how much time a parent allows a child to watch television, and if the parents smoke. In this study fourth grade children were given a survey about situational factors in relationship to their parents. The demographic information that was included was their age and gender. There were some significant differences of situational factors parents participate in compared to the study habits a child retains. INTRODUCTION Children’s study habits and the degree of parental involvement in studying seem to show differences in how they learn and how serious they are about learning. Some examples of what can influence children and their scholastic achievement are if their parents study with them, how much television they watch, and if they even like school. Luster and McAdoo (1996) believe that parents influence what a child brings to school and how well a child acquires school related skill throughout the school years such as working with a child on homework and this can influence other behaviors such as study habits that will affect the child’s achievement. Parent training interventions are...

Additionally this document will address different approaches on preventing juveniles from these issues, especially as it applies to the relationship between minors and their parents and or legal guardian. According to Doggett (2001), something is going on in today’s society as it appears if more and more children are committing delinquent crimes. Based upon my readings, juveniles are committing repetitive crimes because of their family structure. When the juvenile is released from jail and they return home, if their family structure is the same when they left then the same...

...Students Tracy Priest Brandman University This paper was prepared for Introduction to Sociology, Section 101, taught by Professor Kimberly Kenney. Abstract As violence in school becomes more and more common in our society, teacher need to be more aware of the many types of bullying, how students are affected by bullying, how often students are being bullied and how to prevent bullying from occurring. With bullying happening in schools more frequently and at the elementary school level, it’s important that schools look into the types of anti-bulling programs available and start implementing them if there was a need for a prevention program at their school. Early intervention is critical as studies show there is a relationship between bullying and a student’s academic achievements. Bullying and the Effects of Academic Achievement In Elementary School Students Bullying, whether, direct or indirect is a physical or psychological intimidation that occurs repeatedly over time to create an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse (Batsche & Knoff, 1994). Constant harassment and abuse puts a damper on an environment in which our children have the right to learn and feel safe. Formal research has shown that not only the students who bully, but the students being bullied have suffered lifelong negative consequences including a decline in academic achievement. Though most of the research has been conducted in other countries like Great Britain and Japan, bullying...
