Boydell","doi":"10.1007/s10560-026-01158-7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10560-026-01158-7","url":null,"abstract":"This study evaluates an eight-week gallery-based art programme designed to reduce anxiety in children aged 9–12 years. Using a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, we evaluated Culture Dose for Kids, a structured community-based art programme delivered in public galleries. Fifty-one parent-child dyads participated across three sites in New South Wales, Australia, during 2023. Child anxiety was assessed with the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale, parent version, and caregiver well-being with the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale. Qualitative data comprised semi-structured interviews with 30 parents and 43 anonymous written evaluations. Quantitative analyses indicated a statistically significant reduction in anxiety among children in the intervention group compared with a waitlist control group at programme completion (β = −3.1, SE = 1.3, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = .016). Qualitative findings revealed that shared artmaking and art-viewing supported emotional expression, strengthened parent–child relationships, and promoted emotional regulation in safe, non-judgemental environments. These processes can be understood through psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and developmental perspectives that commonly inform social work with children and families. Findings suggest that arts-based, community-located programmes may offer an accessible and developmentally appropriate early intervention for childhood anxiety, particularly for families who face barriers to traditional clinical services. The study contributes practice-relevant evidence supporting preventive, relational and strengths-based approaches within child and adolescent social work.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148693332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review aims to analyse and synthesise the use of digital tools in Social Work with this population. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 protocol, with searches carried out in <jats:italic>Web of Science, Scopus,</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>PsycINFO</jats:italic> . Initially, 2,720 studies were identified, and after applying the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 articles met all requirements for inclusion in the review. The results were organised into four categories: a) Access to and participation in social services, b) Research and diagnosis, c) Intervention and social support, and d) Evaluation of Digital Social Work. The findings show that ICTs enhance accessibility, promote participation, strengthen personal autonomy, and facilitate professional accompaniment. ICTs transform Social Work with young people by improving access to social services, identifying needs and risks, and supporting the transition to adulthood. Digital platforms and social media expand communication, foster autonomy, support socio-labour integration, and promote psychosocial well-being by creating safe, anonymous, and participatory spaces. However, persistent digital divides and ethical risks related to privacy, inequality, and data protection require critical, inclusive, and ethically responsible strategies. The review concludes that future digital Social Work interventions must actively involve young people, professionals, and institutions in the design, access, evaluation, and adaptation of technological tools to advance towards a more inclusive, participatory, and transformative practice in the digital era.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148587191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims to address several domains shown to improve outcomes: active participation, housing, education and economic participation, independent living skills, and formal and informal support networks. Despite clear policy intent and evidence of what supports successful transitions, YP continue to experience inequitable outcomes after leaving OoHC. This study identified a range of structural and individual barriers and enablers influencing the implementation of transition planning and YP’s recommended strategies for improvement. Qualitative semi-structured interviews and one focus group were conducted with 27 YP currently living in, or recently transitioned from, foster, kinship, and residential OoHC in the Australian state of Victoria. The implementation of active participation was influenced by four factors (e.g., staff capability); education and economic participation by five factors (e.g., legislation); appropriate housing by three factors (e.g., housing availability); independent living skills by three factors (e.g., placement environments); and support networks by three factors (e.g., service design). Staff and carer capability was relevant across all domains, and legislation determined the parameters of support provided. Findings highlight the need to adapt transition-planning policy and service design to align with YP’s needs, strengthen workforce capability, enhance relational and placement stability, and increase access to safe housing and practical supports. Future research should co-design implementation strategies with YP and stakeholders to improve effective transition planning.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"353 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148587196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Campus support programs (CSPs) provide specialized services, yet not all eligible students participate. Little is known about demographic or academic differences between CSP participants and eligible nonparticipants—information critical for strengthening outreach. This study examined the student characteristics that predict CSP participation, and whether participation is associated with improved first-year academic outcomes. University administrative records identified first-time CSP-eligible freshmen who entered a public Midwestern university between Fall 2021 and Fall 2024 ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 264). First-year outcomes included cumulative GPA and academic standing. The key independent variable was CSP participation. Covariates included gender, race, in-state residency, first-generation status, and cohort year. Bivariate and regression analyses were conducted. About 19% of eligible students participated in the CSP. Participants were significantly more likely to identify as Black and as first-generation college students than nonparticipants. Regression analyses showed that CSP participation was significantly associated with higher first-year GPA. Regardless of participation status, Black students and out-of-state students had lower GPAs than White and in-state students. CSP participation trended toward increasing the odds of good academic standing, but this effect did not reach statistical significance. Black students had lower odds of good academic standing than White peers. These early findings support the potential role of CSPs in supporting students with intersectional marginalized identities. Low participation rates underscore the need for more targeted outreach. Future research should include more rigorous evaluations of CSPs and long-term college outcomes.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"198 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148587201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study adopts a multi-method qualitative design, grounded in constructivist grounded theory, integrating visual productions, semi-structured interviews, and observational records. The analysis identifies key processes through which artistic mediation operates in these contexts, including adaptive engagement under conditions of instability, emotional articulation through visual resources, the symbolic reconstruction of migration trajectories, and the emergence of forms of situated agency that lead to collective recognition. The findings highlight the role of <jats:italic>arts-based</jats:italic> methodologies as relational and process-oriented tools within protection systems, transcending their merely expressive function. The study proposes a theoretical model that integrates structural conditions, mediation processes, and psychosocial outcomes, offering relevant implications for the design, implementation, and evaluation of socio-educational programs.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148587193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nature of a romantic relationship has a significant effect not only during adolescence but also in later stages of life. In India, the cultural and legal aspects make it even more challenging for an adolescent to handle the developmental need for romance. The current study was a segment of the larger SAMA project, which aimed to test the feasibility of delivering an educative intervention in romantic relationships. Two schools participated in this minor study. To gather data, we used a bespoke questionnaire administered both before and immediately after the session. A total of 282 adolescents (mean age of 14.85 years, 12% males and 88% females) in Grade 10 participated in the study. The questionnaire included 10 items. Adolescents’ agreement increased after the intervention with items related to awareness of the age of marriage, body autonomy, attraction towards opposite sex peers, long-term relationships, social media-related humiliation/sexual threats in romantic relationships, setting boundaries, awareness of the POCSO act, and impact of romantic relationships; however, one item (infatuation) remained the same. Based on participants’ responses and facilitators’ experiences, such sessions are acceptable and feasible to implement in schools. A lack of experience among facilitators was identified as a challenge, which can be addressed through training in future sessions. Sessions as this will provide more opportunities for young people to discuss their questions, such as the differences between love, attraction, and infatuation, and setting healthy boundaries, and help them build the knowledge and skills needed for healthy relationships.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"236 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148499198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
