THE IMPACT OF A PLAY-BASED NATURE CAMP ON SELF-REGULATION IN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN
Full text linkThis study is a program evaluation with a mixed-methods design that evaluated the effectiveness of Y Rangers, a summer camp offered by the YMCA of San Francisco, in increasing the self-regulation abilities of school-age children. A total of 18 caregivers completed the quantitative portion of this study that included pre/post-test analyses of self-regulation measures. There were no statistically significant changes between pre and post assessments of self-regulation. A subset of seven caregivers and three Y Rangers counselors participated in interviews, the transcripts of which were analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Caregivers experienced Y Rangers as a unique opportunity for their children to engage with the natural world through free play. Counselors are passionate about the camp’s design and its impact on children’s development. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are also discussed
THE USE OF BREATHING MEDITATION WITH BIPOC TRAUMA SURVIVORS
No full textThere is a growing body of evidence supporting the use of mindfulness-based practices to reduce psychological distress. Although interest in mindfulness-based care is growing, studies investigating virtual interventions for BIPOC trauma survivors remain limited. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of a breathing meditation intervention on mental health outcomes in a sample of trauma-exposed BIPOC adults, using a randomized post-test only design. Participants in the intervention group were asked to complete a 10-minute box breathing meditation daily for four weeks. Quantitative analyses revealed that those in the intervention group reported significantly lower symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to the control group. Regression analyses identified specific demographic variables as significant predictors of symptom severity. Moderation analyses and post-hoc dosage analysis were conducted to further understand the intervention’s impact. Results suggest that even brief breathwork interventions may help reduce psychological symptoms among BIPOC individuals with trauma histories. Findings support the value of culturally inclusive, accessible interventions and highlight the importance of considering social and structural factors—such as identity and income—when evaluating outcomes and developing trauma-informed mental health interventions
