The model presented was implemented among young people from the Mountain Jewish Community in Israel. It was found that the use of personal drawings made it possible to simultaneously identify and communicate personal narratives, and thereby develop a shared community vision. The theoretical and practical implications of the model are discussed, as well as its applied potential for community organization processes with young people from marginalized communities.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"32 1","pages":"155 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42587403","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}

Still, conceptual, and practical questions remain for defining, imparting, and assessing skills of social work professionals in this key area. Practice-based knowledge has the potential to advance debates regarding the operationalization of culturally conscious approaches and behaviors in professional social work settings. This qualitative study is an effort to assemble valuable lessons and insights of social work professionals across the United States in identifying key aspects of adapting to cultural diversity. Perspectives of integrating experiences into cultural competence beliefs, knowledge and skills were gathered from 10 professional social workers from various backgrounds within different practice levels and settings. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted virtually with participants with interactions recorded and transcribed for data collection. A combination of narrative and thematic analysis techniques was used to identify reoccurring aspects of experiences navigating cultural differences in professional settings. Six distinct themes were identified within three separate domains of 1) conceptualizations, 2) learning experiences, and 3) growth opportunities. Potential application of findings is discussed for use in innovative approaches to education and training along with organizational changes to foster culturally competent practices.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"4 1","pages":"285 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84919983","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}

Opportunities for sexual minority individuals to pursue planned parenthood through assisted reproductive technologies, adoption or surrogacy emerged only recently.

Using a cross-sectional online survey, we examined the relationship between parenthood desire and demographic and psychosocial characteristics in a sample of 1,395 gay and bisexual men in Taiwan. Results showed that sexual orientation, relationship status, psychosocial well-being and cultural factors such as filial piety are significant predictors of parenthood desire.

Qualitative thematic analysis revealed that GBV interventions in Ethiopian refugee settings are in contradiction with the local sociocultural context and depend on Western knowledge and practice models.

The aim of this study was to examine the encounters shared by Asian Americans. Tweets between October 2016 and December 2017 were obtained via Twitter. The tweets were scoped down to 3,156 tweets to include those that appeared to answer the original call. A phenomenological approach was the overall framework with thematic content analysis applied to analyze the data. Tweets were categorized by type of racist encounter. The racist encounters included: microaggressions, denial of intra-ethnic differences, seen as other, verbal harassment, validation of anti-Asian racism, prejudice, verbal violence/attack, and model minority. Understanding the unique experiences of Asian American individuals, families, and communities helps to target policies, social services, and programming that takes these factors into account.","PeriodicalId":45824,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work","volume":"47 5","pages":"235 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41294149","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}
