Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread, pervasive problem that affects couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds. Effective IPV screening practices and interventions that consider IPV context have not been widely studied. Therefore, the authors examined the influence of individual‐oriented relationship education for 230 low‐income participants on equality and conflict‐related behaviors, while accounting for baseline IPV characteristics. Participants who began the intervention with more IPV experiences reported significant improvements in equality and conflict‐related behaviors postintervention.
Significant challenges like stigma and disparities prevent African Americans from entering counseling. Additionally, discrimination and racism might exacerbate anxieties around help‐seeking. However, openly expressing their stories of racism and oppression in counseling increases the therapeutic alliance and creates a safe space for healing and trust. We introduce a critical race theoretical approach to support counselors as they navigate difficult conversations about race. Counseling implications are provided to increase the opportunity for dialogue about racism.
The experiences of Black counseling students at Predominantly White Institutions are well documented. Using a transcendental phenomenological environmental research design, we explored how 12 Black counselor education graduates experienced their respective institutions across three types of academic institutions—Predominantly White Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Hispanic Serving Institutions. Three salient themes emerged—(1) exposure, (2) real‐life exposure, and (3) cultural oasis. The researchers also discussed implications for counselor education programs and future research.
Although many school counselors use self-report graduation surveys to collect data about their program and to track students after graduation, there is a dearth of research examining the survey results’ accuracy. The purpose of this study was to explore the accuracy of high school seniors’ self-report of intended college enrollment. Overall, results suggest that student self-report is a good indicator of fall college enrollment and certain variables increase the accuracy of students’ self-report. Specifically, having a higher socioeconomic status, higher grade point average, acceptances from a greater number of colleges, and a higher college entrance exam score, and enrolling in a public (vs. private) college all increased the probability of an accurate self-report. We discuss implications for school counseling practice and future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
