Video Games as a Way to Facilitate Leadership Skills and Competency Development
Get PDFThis scoping review examines recent literature on video games and leadership competency development to assess whether gaming can foster leadership development. The study discovered that the popularity of video games has increased and that they have the ability to enhance player leadership and real-world leadership skills. Video games can increase management, social, and creative skills, and their increasing complexity makes them beneficial for the study of leadership. There are existing structures in place for leadership development in the military and in the civilian sector, despite the fact that some studies have demonstrated their potential. This topic is relevant because the COVID-19 epidemic has enhanced the requirement for leadership in virtual workplaces. The conclusion of the study examines how video games might enhance leadership abilities
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
Feminist Liberation Practice with Latinx Women
No full textThis book unearths ancestral wisdom to address the needs of oppressed women in both the Global South and Global North. Focusing on Latinx womxn, it empowers through decoloniality, liberation, mujerismo, and nepantlismo. As such, Latinx womxn compose their testimonios, engage in critical consciousness, and commit to global liberation. Mujerismo--a dissident daughter of liberation theology--is a Latinx womanism with anti-patriarchal, anticolonial, anti-neocolonial, and antiracial-gendered colonial orientations. Mujeristas appropriate cultural/religious/spiritual symbols to construct empowering new meanings for decolonization and liberation. Feminist liberation practices assist in this process. When Latinx womxn’s immigration accentuates inhabiting the cultural borderlands, they enter Nepantla--a place in between—to reclaim themselves and to heal soul wounds and trauma. Rooted in the Nahuatl concept of collective transformation, Nepantla encourages the development of psychospiritual abilities. As Latinx womxn engage in nepantlismo, they awaken their spiritual faculties to become instruments of courage, resistance, revolution, love, and hope.
This book will be valuable to researchers, therapists, and educators interested in the practice of feminist therapy. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women & Therapy
The State of the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Industry in California in 2024: Challenges and Policy Solutions
Get PDFCarbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is the process of capturing CO2 from an above ground carbon source, transporting it to a sequestration well, and permanently sinking it deep underground. Despite the state of California depending on CCS to reach carbon neutrality, not one CCS project is operational yet in the state. Due to the recent creation and expansion of state low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) credits and the federal 45Q credits, CCS projects are beginning to be developed. Between 2021 and 2023 twelve Class VI applications were submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in California.
This paper looks at the history and development of the CCS industry. It then uses interviews from six industry experts through a qualitative data method to gain perspective on how permitting, financing, CO2 transportation, and property rights are affecting the industry, and whether any policy changes need to be made to improve the industry. After an analysis of twelve policy options, policy recommendations are identified, and include: updating the Class VI application process in three specific ways, expanding certified options for CO2 transportation to include carbon reinforced polymer containers, expanding grant funds available to CCS developers, and educating property owners on the value of their pour space to encourage informed decisions on participating in CCS projects
My secret struggle: starving, purging, and numbing my emotions. An autoethnographic analysis of my lifelong battle with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders
Get PDFAdolescent females and young adult women between the ages of 12 and 25 are at a higher risk of engaging in self-destructive and life-threatening behaviors linked to anxiety, depression, and eating disorders when they do not have access to suitable treatment options or coping mechanisms (Garcia et al., 2020). This study highlights the heightened vulnerability of adolescent females and young adult women aged 12 to 25 who engage in self-destructive behaviors associated with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders when adequate treatment options or coping mechanisms are lacking. Through an autoethnographic approach, the researcher delves into her daily struggles and breakthroughs concerning these mental health issues, alongside her self-care practices, to explore their potential as catalysts for personal and communal change. Analyzing 28 journal entries, 78 photographs, and 21 written materials spanning 33 years of her battle, the study uncovers recurring patterns such as societal pressures, perfectionism, control through food, and existential struggles that originated in youth and evolved through adulthood. The research identifies social-cultural factors, particularly Armenian cultural norms and family dynamics, as pivotal in shaping the researcher\u27s mental health challenges. Despite numerous setbacks in recovery efforts, the study underscores the significance of perseverance and adaptive coping strategies, including structured planning, support groups, therapy, journaling, and mindfulness-based practices. Furthermore, it highlights the detrimental impact of low emotional intelligence and maladaptive coping mechanisms on the researcher\u27s overall well-being and interpersonal relationships. Overall, the study offers a candid portrayal of enduring personal battles with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, shedding light on the complexities of mental health struggles and the importance of resilience in overcoming them
