Participants were 55 Latinx parents who participated in a 9-session training program. Analyses of pre-post data contrasts on the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), and Parenting Tasks Checklist (PTC) did not indicate statistically significant improvements. However, analyses indicated clinically significant changes for many Latinx parents. Approximately 1 out 3 Latinx parents experienced clinically significant improvements as related to parenting confidence but not within the clinically significant range. Approximately 1 out 5 Latinx parents experienced clinically significant improvements in psychological flexibility but not within the clinically significant range. Nearly 1 out of 2 Latinx parents experienced clinically significant improvements in depressive symptoms. We provide clinical implications for counselors and related helping professionals.Keywords: Hispanic serving institutionsLatinx parentsparent leadersautism spectrum disorderautismchildren Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported in whole by a grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).

Bayesian methods, which emphasize the probability of a hypothesis given the data, may be growing in popularity due to the advent of statistical software employing these methods. Rather than discarding the present methods of NHST, the purpose of this article is to enhance understanding of NHST for counseling researchers and provide an augmentation to presenting results that address the known limitations of counseling research and other social science research. Such recommendations include summarizing previous recommendations of employing visuals to explain data, incorporating effect size confidence intervals, and utilizing the Bayes factor bound to supplement p-values and explain the probabilities related to acceptance or rejection of the null hypothesis.","PeriodicalId":37884,"journal":{"name":"Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation","volume":"309 1","pages":"167 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76349661","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}

Photovoice is an ideal research methodology for investigating clients’ perspectives on the counseling process because it centralizes the client worldview, minimizes researcher interpretation, and empowers clients toward action. The sample consisted of four participants (one family) whose ages were 16, 18, 41, and 43, and all identified as White or Caucasian. The family identified (a) What Life Does to Us and What We Do to Ourselves, (b) Schedules- What We Have to Do and Not Have to Do, and (c) Resistance to Change is Natural as themes representing barriers to implementing mindfulness skills at home. Authors collaborated as researcher and practitioner in this endeavor and discuss implications for scholarship and practice.","PeriodicalId":37884,"journal":{"name":"Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation","volume":"49 1","pages":"89 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86431638","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}

The main goal of BHWET funding is to train and educate behavioral health workers such as counselors in integrated healthcare in primary care (IPC) settings. Self-study research is predominantly used in teacher education practices (Samaras, 2011) and this methodology has the potential to be extrapolated to counselor education and practice especially for developing new pedagogy or program. After engaging in reflective self-study methodology and critically evaluating artifacts, three themes have emerged: professional development for faculty and curriculum development for students, training and fieldwork experiences for supervisors, and advocacy for billing and reimbursement practices. I have also provided a history of BHWET funding along with the strategies for workforce development among the counseling profession.","PeriodicalId":37884,"journal":{"name":"Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation","volume":"36 12 1","pages":"15 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90662987","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}

We utilized the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses protocols (PRISMA-P). Search terms were created that specifically investigated integrated care training interventions involving mental health professionals within the years 2000-2021 from peer-reviewed journals and academic databases. 18 articles were included for our final analysis. A quality analysis on our included studies followed the Mixed Methods Appraisal (MMAT). Following the quality analysis, we developed the following themes from the study results: (a) HRSA-funded studies; (b) skill development; (c) self-efficacy; and (d) interprofessional collaboration. Further investigation is needed to demonstrate the sustainability of integrated care training for counselors. Specifically, how training impacts client therapeutic outcomes and addresses multicultural and social justice competencies.","PeriodicalId":37884,"journal":{"name":"Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation","volume":"1 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83107772","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}
