ABSTRACT Latinos encounter structural and cultural barriers that hinder their ability to access mental health services, often turning to faith-based organizations for support. This grounded theory study aimed to analyze the impact of a faith-based mental health literacy program on Latino mental health. Qualitative interviews were used to generate data and results were evaluated through social constructivism and intersectionality lenses. Findings demonstrated that the impact of the program extended past the individual level to the family and community level, ultimately enhancing mental health literacy, improving parenting practices, breaking intergenerational stigma, and promoting engagement with formal mental health services.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have increased suicidal behavior. The current study evaluates the patterns, risk and protective factors of suicidal behavior among college students in Spain (N = 517) one year after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety, alcohol use and cannabis use (risk factors), and social support and COVID-19 fear (protective factors), were associated with suicidal behavior. These were relatively high among students (22.8% indicated a suicide risk and 9.7% have planned suicide), making it essential to have suicide prevention strategies for university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The implications for Social Work are discussed.

ABSTRACT Using data from a cross-sectional online survey among social work students (N = 457) in the US, our study explored differences in mental health status based on sociodemographic characteristics and preventive behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed disparate experiences related to anxiety, depression, self-harming thoughts, stress and hopelessness by age, gender, employment status, marital status, education, number of children, living arrangement, and mask-wearing and social distancing preventive behaviors. Findings provide implications to mitigate both the current and prolonged impact of the pandemic among social work students who will be playing crucial roles in the provision and delivery of health and human services.

ABSTRACT This paper presents findings of a phenomenological study entitled: Healing from Recurrent Suicide Attempts: The Impact of Being a Peer Facilitator. The study examined the impact of being a peer facilitator (PF) in the Skills for Safer Living: A Psychosocial/Psychoeducational Intervention for People with Recurrent Suicide Attempts (SfSL/PISA) group on the PFs’ healing journey. Using eight semi-structured interviews, the study privileged the lived experience of participants. The results identified four themes in survivors’ healing: new identity formation, navigating stigma, developing agency in the activation of personhood, and achieving personal mastery: skills and competencies.

ABSTRACT Informed by a Social Determinants of Health framework, this study examines associations between county-level unemployment rates and two county-level indicators of mental health challenges. With 2017 data from County Health Rankings, the study focuses on 418 counties in the southeastern U.S., a region with longstanding unmet service needs and ongoing mental health care challenges. Linear regression models show positive associations between unemployment and two county-level indicators of mental health challenges, while accounting for multiple social determinants of health. The study illustrates how county-level analysis can help social workers target mental health needs and increase access to care.

ABSTRACT A recovery paradigm has been increasingly used recently to inform mental health and addiction policies with principles that promote autonomy, social capital, and inclusion. However, some policies such as coercive treatments conflict with recovery principles and social workers report challenges implementing recovery principles in practice. This scoping review explored the literature on recovery policies in mental health and addictions from a social work perspective (N = 29). Our results showed a need to strengthen training for social workers on recovery, increase the focus on policies for addiction recovery, reduce coercive treatment policies, support families, and reduce stigma and discrimination through equitable policies.

ABSTRACT Suicide is a leading cause of death in the U.S. In American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) urban communities and rural reservation communities, youth experience high rates of suicidal ideation, attempts, and deaths. An urban AI organization partnered with a university to respond to this crisis with SAMHSA funds that supported the development and implementation of youth suicide prevention and intervention programming through screening, identification, and treatment of youth. They engaged the community in developing suicide prevention and intervention programming, and designed and tested procedures for implementing community-based suicide screenings, which led to the creation of the Hope & Wellness Screening Toolkit.

ABSTRACT The RAISE trials highlighted the effectiveness of coordinated specialty care for psychosis. However, these publications are largely absent from the social work literature. We have reviewed nine major journals for papers related to psychotic disorders and their treatment since the RAISE trials. We found that five of the nine journals had no relevant articles, two had a single article, and the remaining journals had three and four articles, respectively. The RAISE trials were not mentioned in any of the papers. These results highlight the poor visibility of psychosis in social work. Poor visibility limits social work’s ability to provide care despite its prevalence in adjacent fields.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a multitude of changes to service delivery systems, heavily impacting the experiences of both clients and practitioners. Most research documenting these impacts is quantitative in nature. This qualitative exploratory cross-sectional study provides a richer understanding of the experiences of social work practitioners, clients receiving mental health services, and organizations in the early months of the pandemic. For clients, findings reflect a range of mental health issues, stressors, and sources of resilience. For practitioners, findings reflect professional and personal effects of the pandemic. This article details these findings and provides practice and policy recommendations.

ABSTRACT The aim of study was to assessing the provision of case management services to homeless people who use drugs. 4358 people were recruited and followed up for nine months after discharge. The average age of the participants were 37.8 ± 5.71. In the first month, 15.9% of the total participants had a job, about half abstained from illegal drug use, about 38% reunited with their families, 51.1% accommodated and 39.1% had identity documents. In the ninth month (N = 136), the variables of abstinence from illegal substances, family reunification and accommodation had the highest rates compared to previous months.
