Training in Trauma‑Responsive and Anti‑racist Telehealth: A Model for Behavioral Health Clinicians and Providers
Get PDFTelehealth\u27s uptake in behavioral health services has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, many clinicians continue to lack focused training in providing trauma-informed and culturally-responsive telehealth care. This article outlines a model curriculum that was created to instruct and coach behavioral health providers in California on how to integrate anti-racist and trauma-responsive techniques into telehealth. Topics like evidence-based trauma therapies, racial/ ethnic trauma, marginalized communities, digital divide, and provider selfcare were all covered in the nine-part curriculum. Every three-hour session included evidence-informed didactic content, telehealth skills practice, and concrete planning for implementation. Trauma-responsive frameworks such as the tri-phasic model of trauma recovery (Herman in Trauma and recovery: The aftermath of violence—From domestic abuse to political terror, Basic Books, 2015) and the neurosequential model of therapeutics (Perry in The handbook of therapeutic care for children, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, London, 2020) served as the foundation for the sessions. The Tools to Improve Practice (TIPs) website was created as a supplementary digital resource portal to support clinicians with continuous implementation. This model illustrates a replicable approach to strengthening workforce capacity and competence in trauma-responsive, anti-racist telehealth practices
Black women leaders bend but don’t break: a qualitative examination of coping with workplace inequity in fortune 500 companies
Get PDFBlack women account for 7.1% of the United States (U.S.) population (U.S. Census Bureau,2023); however, they only comprise 2% of executive positions (EEOC, 2023), 1.4% of the Fortune 500 C-suite (Corbett, 2022), and .4% of Fortune 500 CEOs (Dawuni & Frazier, 2022). Typical advice regarding career growth and progression centers on hard work and dedication as facilitators of achievement. However, this is a broken model for Black women, whom studies show follow an inconsistent path and employ a variety of strategies to reach executive levels of leadership as they navigate inequitable systems, treatment, and behaviors in the workplace (Beckwith et al., 2016). While there is significant research regarding the inequities Black women face as they navigate their careers, inequities that systemically exclude them from leadership advancement, minor explores the interpersonal impact these experiences have on them and their resulting thoughts and behaviors, specifically from the lens of career derailment. Through thoroughly examining the literature regarding the relationship between experiences, thoughts, and behavior, this study aims to highlight how Black women leaders’ cognitive and behavioral responses to workplace inequity might perpetuate oppressive systems structured to maintain the underrepresentation of Black women in leadership. Utilizing the concept of mental models and critical systems thinking, in conjunction with social cognitive career theory and self-determination theory, this study explores the lived experiences of nine Black women leaders, examining the impact their social environments at work have had on their career choice, persistence, and motivation. The cognitive and behavioral responses to experiences they have had with workplace inequity are presented, as well as theoretical implications and recommendations for future research. Practical guidance emerged from the research findings for Black women leaders, aspiring leaders, and organizations to disrupt the cyclicality of the underrepresentation of Black women in senior and executive leadership positions in corporate America
Breathing: a story of lifelong learners’ relationship to the changing world
Get PDFHolistic learning is recognized as an effective learning practice. It acknowledges the interconnections between the individual, other people, and the environment, it describes learning as an active process that transforms consciousness.

If students are to learn, this process needs to be honored, which requires pedagogical strategies and practices that can be replicated to have an impact globally. This phenomenological study explored the challenges early childhood teachers experience globally when implementing strategies and practices that create a culture conducive to holistic learning. This qualitative phenomenology research captured the lived experiences of participants regarding the phenomenon, as well as similarities in the lived experiences of teacher participants

Designing and evaluating a framework for assessing and addressing identity threat and integration as part of a merger and acquisition
Get PDFMergers and acquisitions (M&As) offer both advantages and challenges to firms that pursue this growth strategy. Although various frameworks and approaches have been designed to reduce the risks of these transactions, high failure rates continue to plague M&A events. This study investigated a lesser-examined but powerful factor in change outcomes: organization identity. This study examined the effects of M&As on organization identity and identified practices for assessing and addressing identity threat and integration as part of an M&A. The research design was a single case study, with 11 employees ranging from individual contributors to executives being recruited from an organization that had recently undergone an M&A event. Each participant completed a one-on-one interview to gather their perceptions of their original company’s organization identity, any shifts they perceive in that identity, and how those shifts have affected them. Participants’ suggestions for managing organization identity for improved M&A outcomes were solicited. Study findings indicated that the M&A event had profound adverse impacts on the identities of the organizations involved in the event. The organization identity shifts affected organization members in significant and negative ways, including experiences of confusion, traumatic loss, diminished loyalty of the whole, and personal identity shifts. Proposed activities for managing organization identity throughout an M&A event include deliberate strategic alignment and human capital allocation, transparent communication, cross-organizational relationship building, and protection of customer and employee needs throughout the M&A event
