Yet, there is limited intervention research on detecting, mitigating, and addressing the effects of chronic loneliness for MYEA. This study examined community-based providers’ perspectives on the effects of social isolation and loneliness on MYEA, and the availability of social and mental health services for this population. This qualitative study utilized focus groups involving 18 providers serving MYEA in the New York metropolitan area. Data analysis involved double-coding by pairs of trained research team members to generate thematic codes. The main recurrent emerging themes were: (1) the importance of social-emotional wellbeing of MYEA; (2) the ways in which the experience of migration itself facilitated social isolation for MYEA; (3) the barriers to supportive services for mitigating chronic loneliness from an organizational perspective; and (4) the tensions between professional mandates and protections for migrant youth clients. Future intervention strategies, from an organizational perspective, must work through interorganizational partnerships building upon community assets to increase social connectedness to support migrant youth’s social-emotional wellbeing through the transition to adulthood.","PeriodicalId":47419,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Service Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"93 - 104"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45847587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an at-risk population, several factors contribute to the trafficking of children. Although this study recognizes that poverty is a predisposing cause of child trafficking in Ghana, it goes beyond to explore the experiences of practitioners involved in child trafficking interventions on other structural patterns that contribute to child trafficking. Data was collected using a semi-structured interview guide and analyzed thematically following reflexive analysis procedures. Engaging 13 practitioners through qualitative interviews, the study identified the lack of knowledge on what constitutes trafficking on the part of legal guardians, and the involvement of political leaders and elites in the trafficking business as key factors increasing children’s susceptibility to trafficking. This study aids social service workers and those that advocate for human rights to upsurge awareness campaigns, especially in rural areas to educate people on what trafficking is, and the dangers involved. The study also suggests the expedient need for anti-trafficking coalitions in Ghana to advocate for judicial reforms that are not discriminatory to all persons, irrespective of status in government. The study suggests that further research with other agencies working in anti-child trafficking capacities is needed for generalization.","PeriodicalId":47419,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Service Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"126 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49667355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stressors can impact provider turnover and quality of care to clients. Recent research suggests strategies that social work providers can engage in to facilitate peer support and address individual concerns during the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to explore the presence of nuanced strategies—emotional connectedness and emotional preparedness—that facilitated inpatient social workers’ well-being who retained employment during the pandemic. Researchers conducted thematic analyses of 12 social workers in two US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers across the US. Sample consisted of (n = 10) females, and (n = 9) who worked in the VA setting for less than two years. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted via Microsoft Teams software since in-person interviews were avoided out of precaution. A priori themes and open coding were applied. Results illustrate social workers endorsed multiple strategies of both emotional connectedness and emotional preparedness. Emerging themes included frustration tolerance and concerns with addressing events that precipitated the pandemic. Physical contact was avoided for fear of infection. Findings demonstrate that engaging in strategies of emotional connectedness and emotional preparedness facilitated social workers’ well-being and job retention. Future research should assess if these strategies are also utilized among outpatient social workers in other settings and roles when delivering crucial social services.","PeriodicalId":47419,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Service Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"105 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43066311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anticipated stigma, medical mistrust, and concerns that providers lack training in sexuality may complicate their efforts to obtain treatment for long-term health consequences of CSA. It is important to examine the training needs of service providers working with SMM who may disclose sexual abuse. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 35 substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and allied health service providers across the New York City area. Themes included the importance of training in cultural competence, trauma-informed care, and assessment of-and counseling for-CSA. Further education in these areas can enable providers to recognize indicators of abuse in their clients' sexual histories and to more effectively and safely respond to this information. Future studies are encouraged to test a trauma-informed approach to screening for CSA history with Black and Latino SMM who present to SUD treatment and allied health service providers. This research should consider provider perspectives in developing such an approach and will likely involve training and evaluation to ensure adequate preparedness and effective service delivery.","PeriodicalId":47419,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Service Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"79-92"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10723252/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46085520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This nonexperimental and longitudinal design used repeated measures regression analysis and generalized estimating equations (GEE) to examine postintervention changes according to reported levels of historical oppression among 24 participants in eight families. How do postintervention changes differ for WHF participants reporting lower and higher levels of historical oppression? Results indicated that participants reporting lower historic oppression reported greater postintervention improvements as indicated by declines in alcohol use, anxiety, and poor parental monitoring. All participants reported increases in CM, regardless of the level of historical oppression. Given historical oppression drives psychosocial conditions, such as substance abuse, mental health, and family challenges, settler colonial oppression must be addressed within social service interventions. Social service providers must work redress historical oppression rather than replicate them. The WHF program holds promise to center structural determinants in social service programs.

Using qualitative case study, the authors explored the effects of street outreach on the resilience and coping of ten outreach workers in two Southside communities in Chicago. Findings from the thematic analysis indicated individual level factors (such as internal state, perceptions, experiences, and future goals) and system level factors (such as family, work, community, culture, and the broader society) related to the workers' experiences of community violence, street outreach utilization, and resilience. The authors presented these factors using Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems framework. Additionally, the workers' scores on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 corroborated the individual level factors but lacked the system factors. The authors concluded that outreach programs could help to build the resilience and coping capacity of workers by implementing workplace policies and procedures that promote mental health, trauma healing, and career advancement.
