{"title":"Commentary: Actioning Community Attachment Parenting Program Review Recommendations","authors":"T. Bonnett, Lisa McCorquodale, Karen R Schouten","doi":"10.33696/mentalhealth.1.005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33696/mentalhealth.1.005","url":null,"abstract":"Attachment and mental health have long intersected within research and policy [1]. Expressly, attachment relationships developed in the formative years are one of the most influential contributions to longitudinal holistic well-being [2]. Community parenting programs that are explicitly attachment postured bolster security in child/ parent dyad attachment relationships [2], interrupt intergenerational trauma [3], and thus require intentional focus in research and practice. Consequently, in 2019 our research team conducted a qualitative instrumental case study [4] with the quest to investigate content and delivery efficacy of an attachment parenting program. Although the study was fully executed and published in the Journal of Community Psychology [4], COVID health and safety measures that include organizational closures and social distancing [5], have disrupted subsequent face-to-face delivery of the program within the community. Hence opportunities to action study findings, inclusive of delivery and content recommendations offered by mothers, have not yet arisen. Given practicing of infant/mother dyad separation and reunion and reflecting on these attachment tenets in a group context with other mothers, were identified as salient elements of the program in the study, the organization has halted further delivery of the program as this necessitates in person contact and therefore cannot be mimicked using a virtual delivery method. Despite this the concepts of secure base and safe haven, which mothers readily made sense of as they collaboratively reflected on separation and reunion in the community attachment program, has continued to be at the fore of the parenting organization main to the study. Findings of our research have informed complementary parenting programs offered by the organization that include virtual delivery of the International Circle of Security Program (COSP) [2], individual infant/mother dyad sessions that are separation and reunion focused [6], and face-to-face delivery of a self and co-regulation program that has been offered clients who live on-site (as they are rigorously monitored to adhere to pandemic restrictions). The trauma informed approach [7], that also emerged as a theme in the research, has similarly influenced the overall vision of program creation and execution within the organization.","PeriodicalId":217705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mental Health Disorders","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117300815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Review of intelligence testing and adaptive skill deficits is critical to achieve an understanding of dependency needs and how the patient navigates the community. It is important to note that most individuals with ID have better receptive than they do expressive language skills. Though they may have limited verbal skills, they typically still understand what is being said during the interview.

These recommendations were based on lessons from the disaster response and recovery efforts in the aftermath Hurricane Katrina, which caused immense physical destruction and widespread displacement among people living in the Gulf Coast. Immediately after the disaster in 2005, Institute of Women and Ethnic Studies (IWES), a NGO domiciled in New Orleans, created a division of post-disaster and emotional resilience to provide mental health services, psychological first-aid and trauma assessments for young people attending New Orleans public schools.","PeriodicalId":217705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mental Health Disorders","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126256011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Humans, along with other primates, are essentially social animals who possess an innate need to belong to a group and to be accepted by that group [2]: when this need is unmet, the outcome is loneliness. Lonely people feel risk that their relationships are not meaningful and that they are not understood by others. The World Health Organization [3] declared loneliness to be an emergent health concern worldwide among younger people, although still prevalent in older individuals.","PeriodicalId":217705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mental Health Disorders","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125981228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
