Two studies were conducted, both on-campus (Study 1) and off-campus (Study 2), to empirically illustrate the public reception of within-group apologies (victim-focused and system-challenging) and silence. The results indicate that higher levels of system justification are associated with more favorable attitudes toward responses from authority. For the general public (Study 2), high-level justifiers supported the government's silence as much as the victim-focused apology, maintaining trust despite perceiving unfairness. Conversely, low-level justifiers, though negative overall, supported victim-focused apology more than system-challenging apology or silence. Additionally, the general public in Study 2 favored the victim-focused apology over the system-challenging one, rendering system-justifying expressions unnecessary. We propose that authorities prioritize apologies emphasizing dignity and respect for victims, instead of fearing potential negative reception influenced by the system justification motive.

Crooks, Benjamin Nii Badu Lartey, Geoff Bardwell Volume Vol. 9 Publisher Elsevier Journal Name Wellbeing, Space and Society Publication Date 2025 ISBN 26665581 Language English Access Open Access Abstract Given the ongoing overdose crisis, it is imperative to investigate how physical environments facilitate or protect against overdose in order to inform place-based interventions that seek to reduce risk. This scoping review synthesizes qualitative literature on the built environment and overdose to provide indepth perspectives and experiences of decision-making and drug use navigation. Studies published between January 1980 and October 2024 that describe built environment factors related to fatal and non-fatal overdose were included. The review followed the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis scoping review methodology, including the standardized checklist for reporting on scoping reviews(PRISMAScR). Forty articles were included. Results were divided into four overarching categories: indoor and outdoor locations that shape drug use behaviour and overdose; intersections of built environments and other social/structural factors impacting risk navigation, including privacy, sociability, and comfortability; and targeted interventions for the built environment that are intended to reduce overdose, including technologies and service availability. Key findings from this scoping review focus on how the built environment influences the consumption practices and experiences of people who use drugs when navigating harm reduction practices and the integrity of their drug-taking experience. Tensions exist between privacy and comfortability, and experiences of sociability and safety. Balancing surveillance versus monitoring is essential to consider when implementing built environment interventions that support individual autonomy. This research is important for understanding the built environment factors that facilitate or reduce the risk of overdose and is integral for informing policy and place-based interventions.

Far less attention has been given to the Aboriginal men of the force, the nature of their recruitment, and the long-term traumatic impacts on Aboriginal peoples’ and communities’ psyches rather than broadscale changes to Aboriginal culture per se. This article examines the historical and ongoing psychological impacts of dispossession and frontier violence on Aboriginal people. Specifically, we argue that massacres, frontier violence, displacement, and the ultimate dispossession of land and destruction of traditional cultural practices resulted in both individual and collective inter-generational trauma for Aboriginal peoples. We posit that, despite the Australian frontier wars taking place over a century ago, their impacts continue to reverberate today in a range of different ways, many of which are as yet only partially understood.

In two experiments (total N = 9523), we explored the consequences of omitting those perspectives for efforts to understand and address disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that, by prioritizing the perspectives of White Americans, studies of pandemic disparities likely missed important insights. Specifically, we purposively sampled the four largest racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. and found that people of color were consistently more concerned, and more willing to engage in both individual and collective efforts to address health disparities, than their White counterparts. In addition, messages highlighting structural drivers of health disparities further bolstered support for inequality mitigating policies.

There is much to applaud in a charter which responds to the need to take action on the social and economic determinants of health and which seeks to empower communities to be at the centre of this. Such accolades tend to position the Ottawa Charter as ‘beyond critique’; a taken-for-granted ‘given’ in the history of health promotion. In contrast, we argue it is imperative to critically reflect on its ‘manufacture’ and assess the possibility that certain voices have been privileged, and others marginalized. Methods: This paper re-examines the 1986 Ottawa Conference including its background papers from a postcolonial standpoint. We use critical discourse analysis as a tool to identify the enactment of power within the production of the Ottawa health promotion discourse. This exercise draws attention to both the power to ensure the dominant presence of privileged voices at the conference as well as the discursive strategies deployed to ‘naturalize’ the social order of inequality. Results: Our analysis shows that the discourse informing the development of the Ottawa Charter strongly reflected Western/colonizer centric worldviews, and actively silenced the possibility of countervailing Indigenous and developing country voices. Conclusion: The Ottawa Charter espouses principles of participation, empowerment and social justice. We question then whether the genesis of the Ottawa Charter lives up to its own principles of practice. We conclude that reflexive practice is crucial to health promotion, which ought to include a preparedness for health promotion to more critically acknowledge its own history.

This qualitative case study examines the critical role of CBOs rooted in their local, predominately low-income Latin@/e/x communities as cultural brokers in supporting Latin@/e/x wildfire survivors following the 2020 "Mobile Home Parks" Fire in a rural county in Oregon. Drawing from 23 semi-structured interviews, three focus groups, a review of relevant documents, and participant observations, the research investigates how Latin@/e/x CBOs navigated the complex cultural landscape between wildfire survivors and traditional disaster recovery frameworks. Namely, this research aims to address the following research questions: To what extent, and how, do Latin@/e/x CBOs leverage culturally rooted knowledge within the communities they work with to create opportunities for collective healing? What challenges do Latin@/e/x CBOs face in integrating culturally rooted knowledge into disaster resilience programs for low-income, rural Latin@/e/x communities? What opportunities exist for mutual learning and collaboration between diverse, local community practices and state disaster resilience frameworks? This case study examines how institutionalized disaster recovery systems, designed for administrative efficiency, often overlook the cultural realities of Latin@/e/x wildfire survivors. The research reveals significant challenges in wildfire recovery for Latin@/e/x communities, including linguistic barriers, resource scarcity, systemic trauma, and cultural disconnection. When disaster recovery frameworks clash with local culture, those with the least institutional power bear the greatest risk. The findings reveal how standardized approaches can unintentionally reproduce systemic vulnerabilities rather than support transformational, culturally rooted resilience. Effective cultural brokering between conventional disaster management agencies and Latin@/e/x wildfire-impacted communities requires institutional commitment to long-term leadership development, the cultivation of institutional humility, sustained relationship-building before and after disasters, meaningful policy reforms, and robust accountability mechanisms. This study proposes an expanded conceptualization of cultural brokering at an organizational level for understanding how cultural brokering can operate as a multidirectional process with transformative potential. It differentiates between two distinct approaches: one-way and multi-way cultural brokering. One-way cultural brokering refers to cultural translation in one direction, aiming to focus on improving access to existing conventional disaster recovery systems and helping Latin@/e/x wildfire survivors navigate institutional processes through linguistic interventions, case management, and culturally rooted outreach strategies. Multi-way cultural brokering refers to a circular cultural translation direction where communities are able to create new disaster recovery paths rooted in local wildfire survivor culture in partnership with conventional disaster recovery allies. This approach improves safety and roots in core community challenges to recovery because it offers a transformative approach that centers community priorities, lived experiences, and cultural resources. By positioning local cultural knowledge as essential rather than supplemental to conventional approaches to wildfire recovery programming, these organizations have developed innovative pathways for grief, healing, and transformational resilience for their wildfire survivor service recipients. This approach reimagines disaster recovery and resilience programming by recognizing community members as the most crucial recovery resource, establishing culturally rooted and trauma informed healing processes, and developing leadership and political engagement among survivors. The findings have profound implications for disaster management, highlighting the critical importance of cultural knowledge, community expertise, and relationship-centered collaboration. This study demonstrates that CBOs can leverage their cultural knowledge in ways that improve the services they provide. However, to be able to leverage that cultural knowledge, they and the community members they work with should be redesignated as decision-makers rather than solely service providers or advocates. By positioning Latin@/e/x community members as the primary architects of their own recovery, this approach offers an organizational model for creating more equitable, responsive, and transformative disaster resilience strategies. This shift requires shared governance models where CBOs, government agencies, and funders collectively determine recovery priorities and program implementation. These shared governance models should also reflect a revision of flexible wildfire disaster recovery assessment tools that can better reflect diverse living arrangements, informal housing networks, and cultural understandings of recovery CBOs operate within.

However, few studies have examined how social support buffers the effects of trauma and stress on the mental health of Indigenous people. Using survey data from 207 males and 279 females in 2 Ontario First Nations we examined whether social support diminished the negative effects of perceived racism, historical trauma and loss on depression and/or anxiety. Among females, having more social supports was significantly related to a lower likelihood of depression/anxiety, whereas greater perceived racism and historical losses were associated with a greater likelihood of depression/anxiety. For both males and females, childhood adversity was significantly related to a greater likelihood of depression/anxiety. Among females, a significant interaction was found between social support and childhood adversities. For females with low social support, depression/anxiety was significantly higher among those who had experienced childhood adversities versus those with none; however, for those with high level of social support, the association was not significant. The same relationships were not found for males. Possible reasons are that males and females might experience depression/anxiety differently, or the social support measure might not adequately capture social support for First Nations males.

Forms of day-to-day anti-racism action and prosocial intercultural interaction already exist, often in public and semi-public places. Yet they have received little attention in anti-racism research and practice, programs and policymaking. To our knowledge, this is the first global survey to examine everyday anti-racism practices on such a large scale, and the first to quantitatively measure 'transversal enabler' practices, for creating connections between people from different cultural backgrounds who inhabit the same locality. The research maps the frequencies and forms of everyday anti-racism and prosocial attitudes and interaction in Victoria; identifies the factors and social variations that underlie everyday action; and explores transversal enabler practices quantitatively, including their prevalence. It indicates a gap between positive dispositions towards cultural diversity and actual involvement in practices that foster social transformation. We suggest that Victorians can do better on everyday pro-sociality and make a series of recommendations on strategies to inform anti-racism practice, program and policies for more meaningful and deeper intercultural engagement.

The quality of the attachment relationship, a nurturing environment, and appropriate stimulation from mother, or primary caregiver, will determine a child’s psychological well-being. Black women often face multiple stresses associated with race, class, gender and other socioeconomic difficulties (Collins, 2000) that can impact their ability to provide the requisite environments, or even parent the way they want. The participants in this study self-reported exposure to violence, trauma and experiences of neglect in childhood. Research has shown that unresolved trauma from childhood can manifest in adulthood and mother/child dyadic relationships (Fraiberg, Adelson, & Shapiro, 1975). It was found in this study that mothers either replicate parenting techniques they deemed valuable, or discarded unfavorable strategies used by their mothers when they were young. The current study attempts to respond to the question: Can an intervention that educates mothers about child emotional development, and designed specifically for Black women to address their unique constellation of difficulties, affect a change in mothering? The researcher-designed intervention, SOULFOOD, was administered to a sample of eleven women who self-identified as African, Caribbean, and Latin American, middle-class women between the ages of twenty and forty-five. The Demographic Questionnaire (researcher designed), the Resilience Scale, Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI), Life Events Checklist (LEC) instruments were used to collect specific data about the women, while the Parent Stress Inventory (PSI-SF) targeted the parent/child relationship. Finally, the Parental Attitudes toward Child Rearing Scales (PACR) served as a baseline/end of treatment measure to detect changes, if any, occurring subsequent to the administration of the intervention. Transcriptions of the initial interview and a written Program Evaluation were coded for content and common threats. The sessions were recorded and transcribed to learn more about the women’s personal experiences, individual feelings, and attitudes toward mothering. The paired sample t-tests of the PACR revealed two significant effects indicative of changes in attitudes toward mothering as follows: participants indicated they were less likely to threaten punishment (responded with more understanding to child), and they were in more agreement with their partner about childrearing (indicative of a greater appreciation for support). The trends revealed the mothers: had greater respect of their child’s opinions; encouraged their child to express anger; believed toilet training should start earlier; didn’t want their child to grow up so fast. The trends also showed that parents were more likely to disagree about teaching a child to obey at an early age, and that taking care of a child is more work that pleasure. The qualitative data revealed that the middle-class women’s life experiences were not much different from their lower-class counterparts. Although all of the participants reported at least some college, they noted how their income was just high enough to disqualify them from receiving systemic supports for their families, such as reduced fees for day care services. The women expressed ongoing encounters with racism and sexism. Several women reported interrupted attachment relationships with their mothers who left them with relatives while they sought a better life for the family. Many of the women had mothers who worked long hours and subsequently recall being separated from their mothers; those women were determined to parent differently. A few women came from single-family households and now head single family households. Still, most of the women attributed their parenting skills to the relationship, good or bad, they had with their mothers. All of the mothers noted how motherhood changed their lives. The majority of the participants identified with feminist views of Black women and expressed pride in their Black heritage.
