Although measures to assess trauma symptoms exist, they are often not linguistically and culturally valid for many school-age populations. Data from parents of Syrian refugee youth (ages 10-18 years, M = 13.54, SD = 2.27, n = 70) who recently resettled in the U.S. were analyzed, as their refugee status implies they likely have experienced traumatic events during the Syrian War. A mixed-method design was employed, comparing qualitative data from parent focus groups to quantitative responses on the CBCL. Results provide preliminary support for use of CBCL items as a culturally-responsive screening tool for screening symptoms of PTSD in school-aged children, though it should not replace formalized assessment.Keywords: Culturally responsive trauma-informed (CRTI)trauma symptomsPTSDmental healthrefugees Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":46345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied School Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134973786","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}

Specifically, this group-based intervention provided parents with weekly psychoeducation of parenting skills to support their child’s development and wellbeing, a toolkit of kindergarten readiness resources, and social support with other parents. Parent self-efficacy was collected pre and post intervention utilizing the Parent Empowerment and Efficacy Measure (PEEM). Paired samples t-tests demonstrated statistically significant increases in parents’ overall self-efficacy, t(44) = 3.55, p < .05, and efficacy to connect to resources following the intervention, t(44) = 4.30, p < .05. Focus groups explored parents’ perceived growth and confidence to parent and the quality of the relationship with their child after the intervention. Thematic analyses illuminated five core themes, including increased confidence in managing their child’s behavior and emotional regulation, increased ability to perspective take with their child, increased knowledge of milestones and child development, improved conscientiousness and intentional parenting skills, and an increased efficacy to utilize a toolkit of parent resources and skills. Results and implications are discussed regarding how school psychologists and other school staff can support the home learning environment of families during the transition to kindergarten to promote optimal child development.Keywords: Parent trainingearly childhoodinterventionskindergartenprevention AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank all the parents who participated in this research study and intervention during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Qualitative analyses indicated adolescents’ experiences and decisions on social media platforms were informed by their awareness of audiences, namely who they thought would view their posts and anticipated responses from “friends,” “family members,” “fans,” “creeps,” and “potential employers.” Comprehensive school-based interventions may serve to effectively develop responsibility more broadly, as well as a specific awareness about online risks and behaviors.","PeriodicalId":46345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied School Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135969173","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 purpose of this study was to explore the practices of school psychologists in school and non-school settings, such as state agencies and hospitals. Additionally, the researchers sought to uncover why school psychologists chose non-school settings to work in over schools. Insight is provided as to whether the NASP (2020) Practice Model domains were being applied in non-school settings. Findings suggest that the practices of school psychologists in school and non-school settings were aligned with the domains of the NASP Practice Model. Implications for practice, training, and future research regarding school psychologists in non-school settings are discussed.Keywords: Non-school settingsnontraditional settingsalternative practice settingsschool psychologists Disclosure statementThis submission is an original work and is not under review by any other publication.
