Training Experiences of School Counselors-in-Training to Address Child Maltreatment: A Phenomenological Study
Full text linkThis study explores the experiences of six school counselors-in-training (SCIT) in addressing child maltreatment through a hypothetical vignette, providing an in-depth understanding of their experiences. Four main themes and five sub-themes emerged, providing insight into their preparedness and challenges faced. These findings highlight critical areas for improvement in training programs to better equip SCIT for addressing child maltreatment in schools
Counselor Education: Digital Delivery with Confidence
No full textCounselor education programs are required to demonstrate a clear framework, effective implementation, and overall program effectiveness. The pandemic’s surge in online instruction influenced CACREP’s (2024) digital delivery (DD) standards, addressing ethical and legal implications alongside student outcomes. Guidance from digital health initiatives, telemental health ethics and legal practices can be invaluable in clarifying DD protocols for counselor education programs. Understanding the parallels between DD and digital health regulations (e.g., HIPAA, ACA [2014], and NBCC [2023] ethical codes) provides a solid foundation for protecting both students and programs. Integrating technology and modeling digital health practices can enhance counselor education, benefiting both training and program delivery
Reimagining the Counseling Profession: Preparing Counselors for AI and Digital Health Integration
Full text linkDigital health technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming mental healthcare delivery, creating new opportunities and challenges for counseling practice. This article examines digital health applications in counseling, including telehealth, mobile apps, digital therapeutics, virtual reality, and AI-powered tools. We explore key implications for practice, including enhanced accessibility, impacts on therapeutic relationships, and ethical considerations. The article presents a six-domain competency framework covering privacy and security, technical proficiency, ethical literacy, clinical integration, therapeutic adaptability, and administrative management. A case study illustrates the practical application of hybrid digital care, while a discussion of counselor education highlights the need for curriculum updates. Future directions and recommendations for research, practice, and policy are provided to ensure ethical integration of these technologies. This foundational work supports subsequent articles in this special issue, which focus specifically on AI applications in counseling
Integrating Artificial Intelligence in a University Counseling Clinic
Full text linkArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in mental health care, yet counseling students receive little training in digital tool integration. This program evaluation describes the use of an ambient AI platform in a university telemental health clinic to support clinical training. The AI system tracked interventions, themes, talk ratios, and symptom changes across 175 sessions by 13 trainees with 93 clients. Most frequent interventions included validation (97.6%), CBT skills (52.1%), and action planning (63.1%). Counselor talk time averaged 43% of the session, with themes such as relationships and school being predominant in client talk time.. By session 7, clients showed a 15% reduction in depression and 7% in anxiety. Findings suggest AI supports measurement-based care and enhances skill development in novice counseling students
Cultivating a Will to Serve: Applying Cultivation Theory to Understand the Effect of Legal Dramas on Attitudes Toward Jury Service
No full textDespite being a pillar of the American legal framework, response rates to jury summons remain low, particularly among minorities. Prior research has focused on structural factors contributing to these low rates. Yet, little research has examined citizens’ willingness to engage in the process. At the same time, research on Cultivation Theory suggests some types of consumption are associated with an increased desire to work in the Criminal Justice System. This study explores the impact of media, including news, social media, and legal dramas, on citizens’ disposition toward juries, including beliefs about the importance of juries and willingness to serve on a jury. Using data from a nationwide survey of 500 people, results indicated consuming legal drama, exclusive of crime-based entertainment significantly increased positive disposition. This relationship was not moderated by race. These findings suggest some types of criminal justice-based media may cultivate a disposition to engage in the process

No full textOn Realizability of Some Graphs
Full text linkA graph H is said to be realizable by a graph G if for any vertex v in G, the induced subgraph of G on the neighborhood of v is isomorphic to H. In this paper, we show that a complete multipartite graph is realizable if and only if each of its parts has the same size; characterize the graphs by which a complete multipartite graph with each part having the same size is realizable; show that all cluster graphs are realizable; prove that a wheel is realizable if and only if it has four vertices; prove that a fan is realizable if and only if it has three vertices; and show that all friendship graphs are realizable. Also, we discuss the minimum number of vertices in G by which H is realizable
