Although national policy discussions are lacking, some studies suggest addressing these harms through taxation and supply chain standards. However, these proposals overlook the potential role of corporate power in creating and perpetuating these harms. Our study addresses this gap by examining how political, economic, and structural features of food systems enable the meat industry to externalize costs of production and perpetuate ecological and social harms. Here, we analyze three case studies from different stages of global supply chains, revealing a highly concentrated meat industry, close industry-government ties, reduced regulatory oversight, and entrenched cultural norms about meat’s significance to food security. It calls for policy responses that address the economic and political power of the meat industry and the enabling of social and ecological externalities. Finally, it recommends adoption of a whole-of-food system approach to addressing unaccountable industry power.

One of the more dramatic examples was the destruction of the Arab world’s millennia-old Jewish communities. While this destruction is often discussed only in reference to the creation of the State of Israel, this article proposes a complementary model for understanding it, a model predicated on these Jews’ status as ordinary, not exceptional, inhabitants of the Ottoman world, and the disruption caused by the end of the Ottoman empire and its replacement with European colonial rule. Using interwar Aleppo as a case study, this article demonstrates how the end of the Ottoman system of religious communities led to an extended period of dysfunction for Aleppo’s Jewish communal institutions. Under the French Mandate, this dysfunction left Aleppo’s Jews unable to contend with a succession of crises, including a three-way competition for the community’s loyalty between French administrators, Arab nationalists and the Zionist movement. This dysfunction set the stage for the community’s terminal crisis – the 1947 pogroms.

Yet little research has explored how RCA affects experiences of mothering and relationships with children. Based on an analysis of interviews with 30 Australian mothers, we found that RCA affected mothering in complex ways. Many struggled with feeling detached, resentful, and guilty toward their children, while some found mothering an emotionally and morally restorative experience after the RCA. All felt compelled to conceal their abuse from their children and others. The findings have implications for how healthcare practitioners can support mothers in the aftermath of RCA.

This research is important because the racial and ethnic diversity of the nation’s public school student population places additional responsibility on teacher preparation programs to help prepare culturally proficient teachers. The review of the research literature reflects the positive impact teacher education programs have on improving the culturally responsive teaching and classroom management efficacy of preservice teachers. Servant leadership was studied as a leadership lens for the development of preservice teachers as culturally proficient educators. The research methodology involved surveying preservice teachers in different stages within the TEP and analyzing differences in their responses to understand the potential influence of the TEP. Although statistical significance could not be claimed, the findings reflect preservice teachers with more TEP experience reported higher culturally responsive teaching efficacy than those with less TEP experience, while those with less TEP experience reported higher culturally responsive classroom management efficacy. The proposed solutions include embedding multiple opportunities for preservice teachers to reflect on their culturally responsive teaching and classroom management efficacy throughout their TEP progression and giving them more time to practice culturally responsive teaching and classroom management strategies.

This cultural takeover was accomplished through (1) forced relocation, (2) boarding schools, (3) genocide, (4) forced sterilization, (5) environmental degradation, (5) discrimination, and (6) segregation (Findling et al., 2019). These adverse experiences have led to the high prevalence of hospitalizations, post-traumatic stress disorders, depression, displacement, substance abuse, suicide, homicide, poverty, loss of cultural identity, and death among the Native American population; yet mental health services remain underutilized within this population despite the need for services (Alcántara & Gone, 2014; Brave Heart et al., 2011; Burnette & Figely, 2017; Dennis, 2016). The present study examines a sample of (N=199) exploring how (1) acculturation, (2) centrality of religiosity, (3) gender (4) socioeconomic status, and (5) social support influence attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among North Carolina and South Carolina Native Americans? A multiple linear regression model of the predictor variables indicated that cultural self-expression and higher levels of social support were predictive of a greater likelihood of the utilization of professional psychological help seeking among the participants. The regression model accounted for 12.6% of the variance in psychological help seeking.

Adolescents can find it difficult to engage in therapeutic services especially if it was not their choice to participate in those services. Therapeutic services can carry a stigma for many Native Americans due to historical trauma. Group therapy provides a further challenge for adolescents as self-disclosure may be intimidating in a room full of peers especially if the therapist is non-native. This study used culturally responsive cinematherapy to assess its relevance as a mode of treatment with adolescents in a group setting. Interviews were conducted with nine NA adolescents from the Bay Area who have watched the television show Reservation Dogs to assess its efficacy for group therapy and its ability to demonstrate SEL competencies. Six NA adults were also surveyed through three focus group sessions where they were shown clips of the show and asked the same questions to assess for possible differences among age cohorts. In addition, both groups were asked questions about the health needs of Native Americans in general. Results from the study were analyzed through thematic analysis and ten themes were developed. Results could be helpful for therapists developing future programs and for future areas of research.

Despite this, a significant research gap exists concerning mental health disparities and barriers to accessing psychotherapy within this community, leading to marginalization and inadequate representation. Consequently, clinicians may lack a comprehensive understanding of the importance of cultural humility in their interactions with Armenian American individuals. This dissertation sought to address these gaps by examining the obstacles hindering Armenian Americans from seeking treatment, with a focus on potential gender-based disparities. Through qualitative research methods, particularly semi-structured interviews, the study explored the perspectives of American-born Armenians, aged 18 and older, on psychotherapeutic treatment and mental health symptoms. Employing Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) methodology facilitated a nuanced understanding of participants' responses, revealing key themes such as stigma, support systems, and adherence to traditional gender roles as primary barriers to treatment. Specifically, societal perceptions of weakness hindered males, while females often relied on informal support networks instead of formal therapy channels. Moreover, traditional gender roles were found to influence perceptions differently for each gender within the community. The findings underscore the importance of efforts to combat stigma, raise awareness, and improve access to culturally competent care to ensure equitable mental health outcomes for Armenian Americans. Establishing a nurturing mental health environment is crucial to providing all members of this community with the support and assistance they need.

While research has investigated the engagement of post-secondary instructors with student trauma disclosures, this work has not extended to cover the unique role of post-secondary writing centre staff. Writing tutors are employed to assist students with their writing and research skills; however, they may encounter trauma narratives through written assignments or verbal disclosures. Writing consultants often labour under a degree of precarity and lack control over curricular and assignment design, giving them little preparation before encountering emotionally challenging material. As a ‘helping profession,’ they may be at risk of secondary trauma, re-traumatization based on personal trauma histories, or unsustainable levels of emotional labour. This project employs a critical disability lens and an equity-centred trauma-informed framework to examine the experiences of university-based writing centre staff in Ontario, Canada as they relate to student trauma. Semi-structured interviews were employed to explore how writing centre staff perceive and narrate their engagement with student trauma and how this may relate to trauma-informed pedagogical practices. Based on a Reflective Thematic Analysis, several themes are explored, including the relationship between writing centre structure/labour conditions and trauma-informed practice, types of emotionally challenging interactions, strategies tutors employ to engage with students during such sessions, and gaps in ability to provide trauma-informed service. These themes provide insight into tutors’ experience with student trauma and imply recommendations to improve staff and student well-being through engaging with trauma-informed practices in the writing centre.

The purpose of the current study was to examine how Latiné graduate students’ experiences of microaggressions from their supervisor affects their supervisory relationship, as well as their perceptions of their graduate program climate. I collected survey data from 80 Latiné psychology graduate students from across the United States and conducted small focus groups with five participants. I found that exposure to microaggressions within supervision negatively affects the supervisory relationship. I also found that exposure to microaggressions negatively affects students’ perceptions of program climate. The focus groups revealed that Latiné graduate students experience a variety of negative responses to the microaggressions that affect how they engage with their supervisor and their program.

Drawing upon a comprehensive review of the literature, the study underscores the multifaceted impact of trauma on individuals and organizations, emphasizing the importance of understanding trauma's diverse manifestations and proactive measures to foster supportive and responsive organizational cultures. Integrating principles of OD, diverse leadership models, and a trauma-informed approach, the paper proposes strategies for cultivating environments that promote resilience, healing, and growth in the aftermath of trauma. Through this integration, leaders can effectively navigate the complexities of trauma, promote employee well-being, and create cultures of safety, trust, and collaboration. The study concludes by emphasizing the ongoing nature of addressing trauma within organizations and the imperative for continual learning, adaptation, and commitment from leaders at all levels to foster inclusive, thriving workplaces.

Krägeloh, Lydia Aziato, Eleanor Holroyd Volume Vol. 43 Publisher Springer Nature Journal Name Current Psychology Publication Date 2024 Region Ghana, Africa Language English Access Open Access Abstract For years, older women accused of witchcraft have been persecuted and forced into sanctuaries known as witch camps. This highlights a lack of public policies and social support for older women facing disabilities, aging, and dementia. Labelling them as witches and isolating them from their families and familiar surroundings profoundly impacts their emotional well-being. However, little is known about the mental health of older women in witch camps in northern Ghana. This study interviewed 15 women from the Gambaga witches camp, identifying five main themes and 21 related sub-themes: ‘Physical and Mental Health Issues,’ ‘Psychological Impacts of Displacement and Trauma,’ ‘Social Isolation and Emotional Distress,’ ‘Living Conditions,’ and ‘Community Support and Strategies for Improving Well-being.’ The sub-themes included ‘Physical problems (chronic body pain) impacting upon general health and well-being’, ‘Anxiety and nervousness’, ‘Sleep and restlessness- “can’t sit still”, ‘Suicidal thoughts and anger’, ‘Forgetfulness’, ‘Concentration and confusion’, ‘Loneliness, sadness from family disconnection’ and ‘stigma – self and others’, ‘Loss of respect and dignity (‘Dariza’)’, ‘Frailty and loss of independence’, ‘Feelings of helplessness, unhappiness, and despair’, ‘Lack of family support and dignity’, ‘Lack of basic needs, and inadequate social facilities’. Findings revealed the negative effects of cultural beliefs and discrimination on the mental health of these women. Addressing public stigma and challenging these beliefs can improve healthcare and outcomes, allowing older women to stay connected with their families, reduce depression, and lead meaningful lives.
