Now more than ever there is a need to ensure that best practices are being used in residential programs. As the focus on costs and outcomes increase, residential programs must clearly demonstrate that the interventions provided are efficient and effective. Readers will learn how to:
Create strength-based, empowering and healing environments;
Better engage and partner with children, adolescents and families, in meaningful ways;
Support those who have experienced trauma and loss, and to prevent and eliminate the use of restraint and seclusion;
Respect and include cultural indices in practices;
Train, mentor, supervise, support and empower staff about how to deliver promising and best practices, and evidence-informed and evidence-based interventions; and
Track long-term outcomes, and create funding strategies to better support sustained positive outcomes.
This book encourages readers to think strategically about how agencies, communities and systems can identify and implement actions that lead to positive change and how to work more collaboratively to improve the lives of children and adolescents who have experienced emotional and behavioral life challenges and their families.

Описание: Expressive arts therapies are a rich resource for use with children and adolescents, who are often unresponsive to traditional talk therapy, and highly useful to school counsellors who must overcome cultural, language, and ability barriers that are increasingly present in diverse and multicultural school settings. This is the first book written specifically for school counsellors about using creative and expressive arts counselling techniques in school settings. It presents over 100 interventions using art, drama, music, writing, dance, and movement that school counsellors can easily incorporate into their practices with individual students, groups, and in classroom settings. These creative interventions, based on the ASCA National Model framework, support the key student domains of academic, career, and personal/social development. The text also meets the important demand for accountability in school counselling by providing guidelines for evaluating the effectiveness of each intervention.Addressing such issues as emotional expression, social skills development, managing anger/aggression, developing self-esteem, working well with diverse peers, career exploration, and academic skill development, the book is organized by specific types of expressive arts therapies and how they can be used to support different domains in the ASCA model. Each intervention outlines the presenting concerns for which it is most useful, appropriate grade levels, required materials, preparation needed, step-by-step instructions, modifications for special needs students, and an outcome assessment plan.A handy quick reference chart helps readers to quickly locate appropriate interventions for specific concerns. Ideal for the school counsellor, social worker, or psychologist who may not have specific training in arts therapies, this book can also help trained arts therapists who will be working in a school setting to select appropriate interventions.Key Features: Presents over 100 creative and expressive arts interventions that can be easily incorporated into school counselling practiceAddresses all relevant ASCA National Model domains (Academic, Career, and Personal/Social) Provides easy-to-follow preparation and delivery directions and outcome evaluation methods for each interventionIncludes modifications for special needs populationsOffers a handy quick reference chart matching interventions to appropriate concerns
Research on the academic and social impairments related to disruptive behavior disorders, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), suggests that youth with these disorders are at unusually high risk for school failure, school dropout, significant behavior problems, social rejection, and alcohol/substance abuse and dependence when compared to their peers. Clearly, effective interventions for this population are essential. However, research also suggests that due in part to deficits in executive functioning (e.g., memory, organization, planning), youth with disruptive behavior disorders are unlikely to benefit from interventions drawing strictly from cognitive or insight-based therapies. Therefore, the literature regarding counseling and therapy for adolescents seems to divide along two general lines: 1) a rich and growing counseling literature on internalizing disorders (e.g., CBT for social anxiety) and transition planning (e.g., college and career counseling), and 2) an equivocal counseling literature on externalizing disorders, where theory, research, and practice are rarely integrated.
The proposed book bridges the gaps in the literature by integrating research and practice specific to the difficulties experienced by adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders. Much of our discussion will be based on our research of the Challenging Horizons Program and the High School Treatment Development Project conducted at James Madison University. During the course of these studies, graduate and undergraduate students have been trained to build alliances with adolescents, their teachers, and their families for the purpose of implementing evidence-based interventions. Counseling Adolescents with Disruptive Behavior Disorders describes this process in detail--drawing directly from the research and the relevant literature--with a focus on how this research can inform practice.
This therapeutic approach is best described as "solution-focused" because it uses a trans-theoretical model, similar to that advocated by Steve de Shazer, John J. Murphy, and others. Counseling Adolescents with Disruptive Behavior Disorders builds on this tradition by describing how these concepts and techniques can be applied to youth with disruptive behaviors, while providing the reader with specific intervention ideas, troubleshooting strategies, and research findings from these studies and others.

Описание: School-Based Multisystemic Interventions for Mass Trauma presents the theoretical foundations of school-based crisis intervention, which is a systemic approach to helping the school system in an emergency. The book offers a theory- and research-based framework to address the numerous and varied needs of student, parents, educational staff, school administration, and the mental health professionals themselves. The sections include the following: A systematic review of the theory and findings relevant to mass disasters, their impact on children, and postdisaster stress processing and positive coping; A conceptual basis for schoolwide preventive interventions; and, A comprehensive multisystemic intervention plan involving school children, school personnel, and community agencies. School-Based Multisystemic Interventions for Mass Trauma is a valuable resource for school psychologists, school mental health workers, clinical child psychologists, school counsellors, as well as for educators and school administrators.
