Realizing that people racialized as migrants and refugees have been systematically objectified, either as \"criminals\" or \"helpless victims\" by the border regime, grassroots supporting people on the move experimented with more contentious and horizontal forms of solidarity. But how far did they actually go, to challenge the hierarchies of deservingness produced by increasingly harsh migration policies and border violences? Trying to shed light on some of the transformations and pitfalls that have impacted solidarity collectives, over time, I look back into my PhD fieldwork-a multi-sited ethnographic study, to revise its reflections on collective resistance. I argue that, over time, collectives are prone to struggle with conflict and friction, attempts of subalternization and co-optation, demanding new strategies of autonomy and political agency. These reflections aim to contribute to community psychology scholarship interested in studying the transgressive power of solidarity and allyship, which have the potential to regulate community resistance and power in hostile sociopolitical contexts.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148535200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined data from a randomized controlled trial of the Refugee Well-being Project (RWP), a 6-month community-based intervention involving university students and refugees working together to reduce psychological distress and expand social networks. Multilevel growth curve analyses were conducted across four time points over 12 months among 290 recently resettled Afghan, Great Lakes African, Iraqi, and Syrian refugees in the United States. Results showed that intervention participants experienced short-term increases in social network size, peaking mid-intervention and declining by the 6-month follow-up. Although these positive effects were not sustained, control group participants experienced a steady decline in the size of their social networks over time, further highlighting the beneficial impacts of the RWP intervention. Findings suggest that university-community partnerships like RWP can temporarily boost social networks among refugees, offering insights for global resettlement support programs.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148337365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like disabled communities, asylum-seekers are often framed as social burdens, valued for their potential economic contributions. This study applies Bérubé's concept of narrative deployments of disability and the frameworks of ablenationalism and debility to ask how public perceptions of Central American asylum seekers in the United States are shaped by neoliberal-ableist logics, and how the ideology of ability undergirds systems of inequality even in the absence of an explicitly disabled figure. To address these, we draw on open-ended survey data from a politically diverse US sample (N = 270), analyzing responses about resource allocation for refugees using qualitative abductive analysis. Findings show that perceptions of asylum-seekers reproduce compulsory able-bodiedness, reinforcing economic productivity as a prerequisite for citizenship. This aligns with historical trends in which disability metaphors have shaped im/migration policies to restrict access to rights. By centering disability, we argue that ablenationalism operates alongside racialized political economies to uphold borders, both material and social.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148337325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research is an evaluation of the impact of participation in Reach & Rise®, a program in which all mentors are supported in using CBT principles in their relationships with youth. Researchers randomly assigned youth either to be matched with a mentor through Reach & Rise® (i.e., treatment group; n = 316) or a waitlist control group (n = 284). We examined intent-to-treat effects using youth and caregiver survey data 15 months after study enrollment. Relative to the waitlist control group, we found treatment group youth to be significantly less likely at follow-up to report delinquent behavior (Treatment: 8%, Control: 15%, respectively) and substance use (28% and 43%, respectively). Treatment group youth also had significantly greater self-reported connectedness to school (Cohen's d = 0.267) and caregiver-reported academic performance (d = 0.214) and, at borderline significance (p = .05), greater reported connectedness to their families (d = 0.177). The groups did not differ on the remaining measures, which included youth reports of depressive symptoms, happiness, hope for the future, life satisfaction, and quality of peer relationships. Reach & Rise® shows promise for reducing problem behavior among youth while also positioning them for success and positive adaptation in contexts that are important for adolescent development. In the future, researchers should investigate avenues for broadening the scope of benefits to include aspects of emotional well-being. In view of the support established through this research for the effectiveness of the overall program, another logical next step would be to examine the unique contribution of the CBT principles embedded in the program to youth outcomes.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"77 3-4","pages":"568-589"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146123194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When police had this evidence tested years later, cases with DNA matches were re-opened, and survivors were asked to re-engage with the criminal legal system. We conducted qualitative interviews with N = 32 survivors who participated in these “cold case” prosecutions and explored how their family and friends supported them throughout this process. Most survivors (94%) disclosed to friends and family that their cases had been re-opened, and 47% received beneficial emotional and tangible support during prosecution.

The majority of studies utilized cross-sectional data, and a few studies examined mediators and moderators. Five future research priorities were identified, including: (1) developing a theoretical framework for the study of racism and racial disparities in firearm violence, (2) testing mechanisms between the relation between racism and firearm violence, (3) identifying protective factors, (4) applying a developmental perspective, and (5) improving data surveillance systems for firearm violence.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"77 3-4","pages":"314-340"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ajcp.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147687818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ideally, these approaches have been found effective elsewhere. Despite evidence that leadership plays a generally important role in coalitions, there have been limited prior findings about how leadership may support the use of evidence-based practices. The purpose of the current study was to assess whether three facets of inclusive leadership—engaging communication, inclusive decision making, and inclusion of community residents—predicted the number, reach, and fidelity of coalitions' evidence-based practices. The study context was 64 Pennsylvania and Missouri youth substance misuse prevention coalitions. Multiple regressions were used to estimate the lagged effects of communication, inclusive decision making, and inclusion of community residents on the number of evidence-based practices used, their reach, and fidelity, respectively. Inclusive leadership was positively associated with the number of evidence-based practices coalitions used and how many parents and youth those programs reached, but not with evidence-based practice fidelity. Findings from this study indicate that inclusive coalition leadership warrants the time and skills entailed. Community psychologists are well-suited to support coalitions in this empowering approach to decision making and implementation.","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"77 3-4","pages":"590-601"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ajcp.70049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146123255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
