Abstract No study to date exists regarding resilience in the context of armed conflict in Kashmir, India. Therefore, this study intended to understand the factors that predict resilience among young adults affected by the violence of the protracted conflict in Kashmir. The data were collected from 656 students, who experienced stress, related to the conflict. Findings showed that more than a quarter of the respondents (35.8%) were exposed, from 7 to 10, less than a quarter (16.6%) of participants reported 2–6, and almost half of the respondents (47.6%) were exposed to 11 or more stressful events related to the conflict in Kashmir. Multiple hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the role of conflict exposure, social support, and demographic variables in predicting resilience. The results of the final regression model revealed that exposure to armed conflict, social support, level of education, monthly family income and gender, emerged as significant predictors of resilience. The study recommends the formulation of programs to sensitize people living in the areas affected by the armed conflicts, regarding the importance of social support and resilience, to help them withstand various adverse life experiences.

Abstract We assessed the impacts of a drama-based 13-session workshop among adolescents (N = 8) residing in a reform school due to severe conduct problems. The participants were interviewed three times during the process. In addition, they filled in a questionnaire assessing emotion processing. The theoretical background was Capabilities Approach. Our results showed that participation promoted numerous positive outcomes both at the individual and group level: personal growth, new insight, meaningful interaction and increased interpersonal trust. Providing a control-free space is especially important for minors residing in a controlled environment. Drama workshops and capability approaches provide promising tools for child welfare.

Abstract This study aims to evaluate whether community-based and individual interventions in Armenia lead to improvements in youth outcomes. Youth from eight schools were invited to participate in a community-based intervention plus a program targeting youth beliefs and behaviors, and youth from eight other schools were invited to participate in the community-based intervention alone. In total, 240 youths aged 10–16 years (M = 12.48; SD = 1.33) agreed to participate. There were significant increases in perceived sociopolitical control in both groups, and in emotional regulation through cognitive reappraisal in the community-based intervention-only group. The only significant change identified in the individual intervention group in comparison to the community-based intervention only group was a lower uptake of beliefs endorsing wife-beating. No other improvements were found. Our research failed to find support for brief interventions targeting the individual beliefs and behaviors of Armenian youth, indicating that multilevel interventions which are sustained over time may be needed.

Abstract Self-injurious behaviors affect millions of adolescents each year, indicating a public health problem needing attention and intervention. Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the act of purposefully hurting oneself without the conscious intent to die, such as self-cutting, burning, or carving. As the rate of engagement in NSSI is growing among adolescents, mental health practitioners are increasingly faced with responding to NSSI behaviors among adolescent clients. These mental health practitioners must adequately and efficiently identify the behaviors and determine the course of treatment to best support the client and reduce the NSSI behaviors. This article aims to educate practitioners around NSSI behaviors, assessment techniques, and the current evidence-based interventions available to treat adolescents who struggle with NSSI to determine the best practice for this high-risk population by using a case example. Due to the lack of research on NSSI, there is a significant gap in knowledge related to interventions for adolescents who engage in NSSI. Practitioners often report having little training specific to the issues and needs of adolescents who engage in NSSI.

Abstract Foster care is a sensitive topic that requires representation of the best interests of children and families. The perspectives of foster children and foster families are under-researched and there is need for more knowledge in this area. Following a PRISMA guidelines, 24 articles were analyzed. The systematic review explores foster children’s and foster parents’ perceptions of factors related to a successful placement. Both children and foster parents emphasized the importance of inclusion in the decision-making process and a need for additional help from specialists. Findings identify a number of factors that could be helpful for child welfare authorities.

Abstract Adolescent health services are often misperceived as less important scope of health services, hence, diminishing the rights of adolescents to have optimal healthcare services. Inputs on perceptions regarding adolescent health services would facilitate policy makers in improving the quality of healthcare services delivery to adolescent clients attending health facilities. This qualitative study aimed to explore the perceptions of healthcare providers regarding adolescents and adolescent health services in Malaysian setting through in-depth interview. A descriptive, phenomenological approach was employed as the method of inquiry. Thematic analysis was used to evaluate the data. From this study, respondents perceived adolescents as healthy, thus, less important compared to other group of population. Adolescent health services were perceived as a demanding scope of health service; requiring considerable time and specialized clinic settings. Healthcare providers also believed that adolescent health services are crucial yet overlooked, with various management issues such as short-staffed, lack of promotion, budget, and monitoring which hamper its progress. In conclusion, healthcare providers in this study have some negative perceptions toward adolescents and their health services. Improving clinics work processes and setting, allocating more staff and training sessions, gaining more political will and strengthening adolescent-friendly health services are recommended to improve healthcare providers' perceptions toward adolescent health services.

Abstract Trauma informed care (TIC) emphasizes the importance of professionals maintaining an emotionally regulated state. We interviewed eight staff members in a residential care unit for children and adolescents where TIC had been implemented, about situations wherein they experienced difficulty regulating their own emotions. We identified three major narratives in informants’ descriptions: (1) “Are we doing the right things?”, (2) “My childhood issues surfaced”, and (3) “Missing togetherness with trusted others.” The narratives illustrate the emotional strain that can be evoked when working in residential child welfare settings, and within TIC frameworks, and point to potential challenges to resolve when implementing TIC in similar organizations.

Abstract Just as delinquency case rates skyrocketed more for girls than boys in the 80s and 90s, recent declines show, yet again, that advances in youth intervention favor boys over girls. Given that boys continue to outnumber girls involved with the system, it is perhaps not surprising that juvenile courts tend to rely on gender-neutral programming; in effect treating girls like boys. Drawing a sample of youths (N = 3,901) processed by a Midwestern juvenile court filed between 2012 and 2016, the present study shows that gender neutral diversion programs yield lower recidivism rates for boys, but not for girls.
