Results showed that, within the examined model, mindfulness at T2 mediated the relation between family resilience at T1 and NSSI at T2; individual resilience at T2 mediated the association between family resilience at T1 and NSSI at T2; and the relationship between family resilience at T1 and NSSI at T2 was fully serially mediated by mindfulness and individual resilience at T2. The findings suggest that family resilience may reduce the likelihood of NSSI by enhancing adolescents' mindfulness and individual resilience.

While psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNP) can deliver a full range of mental health care services across the lifespan, there are discrepancies across training programs in exposure to child and adolescent cases and high quality training. To address workforce capacity needs and to improve access to psychiatric treatment for underserved youth, a PMHNP post-graduate fellowship program in community child and adolescent psychiatry was established in 2020. During the one-year program, fellows rotate in emergency settings, specialty partial hospitalization clinics, collaborative care settings, and outpatient clinics treating a wide range of psychiatric disorders.
