“…Investigating how school counselors advocate against racism is essential because nearly 80% of ASCA's membership is White, while the pre-K-12 student population continues to grow more diverse (Hickman, 2021). Research has suggested that children who experience discrimination based on race and ethnicity have higher rates of mental health conditions, and that racial/ethnic discrimination is almost seven times as common among children with three other adverse childhood experiences (ACES) compared to those with no ACES (Hutchins et al, 2022). According to Kendi (2019), school counselors should embrace their roles as social justice advocates and change agents who dismantle systems of oppression by supporting antiracist policies using their actions and expressions of antiracist ideas.…”

In this qualitative study, 10 White school counselors were interviewed after they completed a 7-week affinity group designed to address their racial identity development, cultural humility, and antiracist school counseling practice. We conducted two semistructured interviews with each participant and analyzed them using interpretive phenomenological analysis. The analysis revealed five group experiential themes: (a) motivation for joining the affinity group, (b) affinity group experiences, (c) outcomes from the affinity group, (d) antiracism’s influence on identity, and (e) antiracist school counseling practice. We discuss implications for the school counselor preparation, induction, and practice.

“…One out of every six children, ages 2 to 8, has a diagnosed mental health, behavioral, or developmental disorder ( 26 ). Mental health concerns are disproportionately high among children from impoverished contexts, where nearly 20% of children experience a mental, behavioral, and/or developmental disorder ( 27 ), and among children from ethnic-racial minorities ( 28 ). Unfortunately, access to full mental health services lags behind needs ( 29 ).…”

Given the importance of health to educational outcomes, and education to concurrent and future health, cross-systems approaches, such as the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) framework, seek to enhance services typically in K-12 settings. A major gap exists in cross-systems links with early care and education serving children birth to age 5. Both pediatric health systems and early family and child support programs, such as Early Head Start (EHS) and Head Start (HS), seek to promote and optimize the health and wellbeing of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families. Despite shared goals, both EHS/HS and pediatric health providers often experience challenges in reaching and serving the children most in need, and in addressing existing disparities and inequities in services. This paper focuses on infant/toddler services because high-quality services in the earliest years yield large and lasting developmental impacts. Stronger partnerships among pedicatric health systems and EHS programs serving infants and toddlers could better facilitate the health and wellbeing of young children and enhance family strengths and resilience through increased, more intentional collaboration. Specific strategies recommended include strengthening training and professional development across service platforms to increase shared knowledge and terminology, increasing access to screening and services, strengthening infrastructure and shared information, enhancing integration of services, acknowledging and disrupting racism, and accessing available funding and resources. Recommendations, including research-based examples, are offered to prompt innovations best fitting community needs and resources.

“…Indigenous women systematically have lower coverage in maternal care indicators compared to their nonindigenous peers [5] and preventive services and treatment of the main forms of female cancer [6]. Tey face greater barriers to access, which is why they make less use of health services, and when they do use them, the care they receive is of lower quality [7], and in some cases, they are subjected to racist and mistreatment practices [8,9]. Tis situation poses challenges to achieving universal health coverage, requiring strategies to respond to the needs of indigenous populations, be culturally relevant, and address structural inequalities, especially forms of discrimination [10].…”

This study evaluates the political, legal, organizational, and availability of resources for the onboarding of health professionals trained in interculturality for sexual and reproductive health care of the indigenous population in public health services. A case study was carried out using a qualitative methodology that implemented intercultural care strategies in reproductive health in two Mexican states with the presence of indigenous population. In regards of the political feasibility, the interest of the actors, positioning, and power were explored. In regards of legal feasibility, the presence of legal impediments was analyzed. In the case of organizational feasibility, we explored the organizational structure and functions of the personnel. Finally, for evaluating the availability of resources, we analyzed the budget available for hiring personnel with intercultural training. Political feasibility shows that the actors recognize the importance of including personnel with intercultural training for reproductive health care in indigenous population; despite this, in both states, there is no clear position in favor of it. In legal feasibility, no impediment for hiring these personnel was found. In organizational feasibility, the organizational structure of health services does not include a unit to oversee intercultural health services and practices and does not specify intercultural functions in the professional required profiles. In both states, there is no budget allocation for hiring personnel with an intercultural profile. Therefore, intercultural actions implemented are part of the local initiative of decision-makers to respond to reproductive health problems within indigenous population. The overall feasibility assessment does not show clear results in favor of incorporating health professionals trained in interculturality for sexual and reproductive health care for indigenous population. Therefore, it is still necessary to advocate on this issue so that intercultural hiring policies can be explicitly concretized in the acquisition of public health services.
