The Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) program is an empirically-based resilience-building program originally designed for adolescents and young adults. This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and exploratory efficacy of PRISM for elementary-aged students (PRISM-Kids). PRISM-Kids is a manualized, skills-based intervention program that teaches stress management, goal setting, reframing, and meaning-making. PRISM-Kids was delivered in five 30-60 min sessions, approximately 1 week apart. Eligible students were in grades 3–5 and English-speaking. Students were recruited from a Washington State elementary school using purposive sampling. Parents of enrolled students were also offered participation in a follow-up interview. The study assessed feasibility, defined <em>a priori</em> as an 80 % completion rate. Acceptability was assessed via participant interviews using thematic analysis. Exploratory efficacy was assessed by pre- and post-resilience scores as measured with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Twenty-one students and parents were enrolled (students: 72 % male, 71 % non-Hispanic white, 14 % Asian, and 15 % other; parents: 100 % mothers). Twenty completed all 5 sessions. Feedback indicated high satisfaction with content and delivery; 100 % recommended this program. Exploratory efficacy results showed a significant increase in resilience scores, from a baseline mean CD-RISC-10 score of 22.3 (SD = 6.0) to a post-program score of 28.1 (SD = 5.7), p = 0.004. PRISM-Kids is a promising, feasible, and acceptable intervention for building resilience in elementary-aged children. Future research should examine the efficacy of PRISM-Kids in larger, diverse populations to further validate its effectiveness as a resilience-building tool in schools.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 108723"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145790991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we used a lifeline drawing method, inspired by complex systems theory, to map the life histories and broader developmental contexts of young people with residential living experience. Lifelines of wellbeing were analyzed for distinct dynamic patterns to arrive at a process explanation of how person-environment interactions shape the onset and maintenance of psychological suffering and recovery. Lifeline interviews were conducted with seven adolescents with residential living experience. Each lifeline was segmented and coded for the functioning of the person and their environment. We then sought for dynamic patterns that were repeated within and across cases. The overall line shape showed that youth experienced the majority of their lives as hardship and that their psychological problems worsened over time. While idiosyncratic in content, we found general dynamics (patterns of stability, fluctuations, and diverse change patterns) that could be linked to distinct developmental mechanisms. Fluctuating patterns pointed towards periods of instability (or crisis), during which youth appeared more sensitive to external stressors, and which typically marked the start of recovery. Whereas the worsening of youths’ problems typically occurred fast, recovery was a much slower process which required an autonomy-supported living environment, psychological interventions, and/or changes in youths’ school or living environment. We call for an interaction-based approach to diagnosis and care, in which psychological suffering is understood in the light of a person’s history and developmental context.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 108720"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145790994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such relationships also promote hope, a key protective factor associated with reduced loneliness and enhanced wellbeing. Specifically, informal mentors have flexible, unstructured relationships that can help youth in different ways, depending on the circumstances of their relationship and mentees’ characteristics and preferences. Despite the recognized significance of informal mentoring relationships, little research has examined how and why mentees differ in the benefits they derive from these relationships. Thus, this study explored how hope from informal mentoring relationships varied among mentees. We used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify underlying characteristics of mentees and the extent to which hope is associated with membership in those classes. Data were drawn from the National Mentoring Partnership’s (MENTOR) nationally representative, cross-generational study (<em>N</em> = 2,400), with current analyses limited to participants who reported having an informal mentor during childhood (<em>n</em> = 935). Analyses revealed three classes–the Hopefuls, the Younger Less Hopefuls, and the Older Less Hopefuls–that were primarily distinguished by racially and ethnically marginalized identities and generation. The results suggest that mentees’ perceptions around how much informal mentors foster hope are heterogenous. Future research should further explore these differences in informal mentoring benefits to uncover the nuances within these relationships and how they can be used to support youth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 108660"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145469210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To protect children from maltreatment, juvenile courts can impose child protection measures. But do these intrusive measures actually improve developmental outcomes for children? This review seeks to address this question by conducting two separate <em>meta</em>-analyses. The first synthesised studies compared children under child protection to children from the general population (7 studies, 56 effect sizes), whereas the second synthesised studies compared children under child protection to children from similar at-risk populations that did not receive the same protection (8 studies, 21 effect sizes). The results showed that children under child protection scored on average less favourably across developmental outcomes than children from the general population (<em>d</em> = −0.78, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001), and even less favourably as parental mental health problems increased. Also, effect sizes were more negative for children’s psychopathology (<em>d</em> = −0.94, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001) than for outcomes related to life achievements (<em>d</em> = −0.34; n.s<em>.</em>). However, on average, children under protection did not differ from children in similar at-risk populations (<em>d</em> = 0.05, <em>p</em> = 0.739). It is concluded that, although child protection measures are intended to ensure a child’s safety, our findings provide no indication that they lead to improved developmental outcomes when comparing children under protection with those from the general and at-risk populations. Future rigorous research is needed to better understand the true impact of child protection on children’s development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 108657"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145580172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
