“…6 Providers at TAIBU employed an "Afrocentric" health promotion approach, anchored in values of cooperation and collective input. 7,8 The term "Afrocentric" applies to people of African and Caribbean descent, meaning that providers centred this community in their work. They listened and spoke with patients respectfully, acknowledged concerns based on values and beliefs, and identified barriers to vaccination.…”

“…At its core, liberation psychology moves beyond dismantling oppressions and aims to honor and deepen links between mental health, human rights, and social justice. Psychologists who are interested in centering social justice in their practices can look to established liberation-focused models like African-centered healing paradigms (Graham, 2005; Hatcher et al, 2017), Narrative Therapy (Neville, 2017), and Ethnopolitical Psychology (Comas-Diaz, 2007). Scholars have also worked to develop a Black liberation psychology, which is drawn from the synergies between Black liberation theology and liberation psychology (Thompson & Alfred, 2009).…”

In this article, the authors explain systemic racism through a racial-spatial framework wherein anti-Blackness, white supremacy, and racial capitalism interlock to create and recreate white space and time. Through the creation of private property, institutional inequities become embedded and structured for the benefit of white people. The framework provides a way to conceptualize how our geographies are racialized and how time is often used against Black and non-Black people of Color. In contrast to white experiences of feeling "in-place" almost everywhere, Black and non-Black people of Color continually experience displacement and dispossession of both their place and their time. This racial-spatial onto-epistemology is derived from the knowledge and experiences of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and other non-Black people of Color, and how they have learned through acculturation, racial trauma, and micro-aggressions to thrive in white spaces and contend with racism such as time-theft. The authors posit that through reclaiming space and time, Black and non-Black people of Color can imagine and practice possibilities that center their lived experiences and knowledge as well as elevate their communities. Recognizing the importance of reclaiming space and time, the authors encourage counseling psychology researchers, educators, and practitioners to consider their positionalities with respect to systemic racism and the advantages it confers to white people. Through the process of creating counterspaces and using counterstorytelling, practitioners may help clients develop healing and nurturing ecologies that challenge the perniciousness of systemic racism. Public Significance StatementThe racial-spatial onto-epistemological framework helps counseling psychology researchers, educators, and practitioners better understand systemic racism and how Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and other non-Black people of Color live in white spaces and function under white time. Through the creation of private property, institutional inequities become embedded and structured for the benefit of white people. The framework provides a way to conceptualize how our geographies are racialized and how time is often used against Black and non-Black people of Color. Recommendations identify ways that scholars can be better researchers and responsive to communities they study and how practitioners could help cultivate counterspaces and use counterstorytelling in therapy.

“…Thus, youth who are socially vulnerable and at risk, who may benefit the greatest from community sport-based PYD program, are overlooked. Further, perspectives of youth who are socially vulnerable—particularly youth of color from economically disadvantaged urban neighborhoods—are limited within more general youth development as well as social work literature (e.g., Hatcher et al, 2017; Kyere & Huguley, 2018; Rivas-Drake et al, 2014).…”

Purpose: In response to the Grand Challenge of promoting the Healthy Development for All Youth, many programs aim to enhance the development and transfer of life skills. However, within sport-based positive youth development (PYD) programs, life skills are understood through adult-centric perspectives. To better serve youth, research is needed that explores life skills through the lived experiences of youth. Method: Thirteen youth, who met the purposive sampling criteria, participated in the study. Data were collected using two methods. Semi-structured interviews explored life skill development, while photo-elicitation interviews explored life skill transfer. Results: Findings illustrated youth developed, as well as transferred, a variety of intrapersonal and interpersonal life skills. Youth identified, defined, and applied life skills that were both explicitly taught by the program and others that were not. Conclusions: Findings can be used to inform the strategic design of sport-based PYD programs and intentional facilitative coaching practices of their staff.
