Get PDFIgniting Resilience Through Values
No full textThe standard change management playbooks often overlook the profound impact of systemic change on human behavior, offering systematic approaches that may not foster sustained change adoption. In the face of rapid change, organizations must acknowledge the complex interdependencies that can impede change efforts. This project aims to enhance collective resilience capability by delving into the pivotal role of organizational and individual values. Identifying three key findings that illuminate the relationship between culture and value alignment that either impede or improve an organization\u27s ability to adapt to both planned and unplanned changes. While culture is often understood as a key element in fostering organizational resilience, this provides valuable insight into the power of values integration that can raise collective resilience
Across Borders and Cultures: Examining Sense of Belonging and Empathetic Attitudes in Adult Third Culture Kids
No full textAdult Third Culture Kids (ATCKs), with complex cultural identities shaped by a childhood traversing the globe, faced unprecedented challenges with the onset of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. This paper examines the intersection of empathy and belonging among ATCKs post-pandemic. The study uses qualitative research methods to explore their sense of belonging and empathetic attitudes amid transcultural experiences, investigating the pandemic\u27s impact on their connections with surrounding cultures and networks. Common themes emerged in the \u27Sense of Belonging\u27 category, such as \u27Collective,\u27 \u27Fitting In,\u27 \u27Memories of Other Countries,\u27 \u27Open Dialogue,\u27 \u27Perpetual Foreigner,\u27 \u27Reclaiming Culture,\u27 and \u27Relationship with Other TCKs/ATCKs.\u27 In the \u27Empathetic Attitudes\u27 category, themes included \u27Assimilation,\u27 \u27Flexibility and Adaptability,\u27 \u27Engaging in Homogenous Practices,\u27 \u27Mislabeled and Misunderstood,\u27 \u27Perspective Taking,\u27 and \u27Reconciling Cultural Differences.\u27 The \u27COVID-19\u27 category revealed significant themes like \u27Hate Crimes,\u27 \u27Isolation,\u27 \u27Longing for Connections,\u27 and \u27Negotiating Belongingness.\u27 Lastly, discussions exploring the \u27Therapy Needs\u27 category were centered on \u27Intake Procedures\u27 and \u27Layers of Identity Composition.\u27 These findings underscore ATCKs\u27 resilience in navigating post-COVID-19 realities and highlight ongoing challenges in reconciling their identities and fostering belonging in a changing global landscape. The study concludes with implications for psychological interventions aimed at promoting the well-being of ATCKs post-COVID-19
Considerations for Interviewing and Intervening with Suicidal Gender Expansive Individuals
Get PDFIt has been well documented that transgender individuals are at a higher risk for death by suicide compared to their cisgender peers. However, limited consideration has been given to studying suicidality in individuals who identify outside of the gender binary (non-binary, gender queer, gender fluid, etc.). Additionally, while there is considerable evidence for risk factors for suicide and protective factors against suicide, there is a lack of guidance on how to implement this information. The aim of this paper is to expand upon the literature of research that is inclusive of all gender identities and propose guidelines working with gender expansive individuals who are suicidal. Providers are encouraged to consider working with client’s from a perspective on gender that is not binary in order to be affirming of all gender identities. Recommendations include intervening in a culturally sensitive manner by not assuming one’s gender, inquiring about pronouns and preferred name, and utilizing gender neutral language. Additionally, providers should also consider the unique risk and protective factors amongst this community when performing crisis interventions and creating safety plans with clients
Foreign Object
No full textForeign Object comprises the first part of a novel series that seeks to complicate the concepts of the Anthropocene epoch in fiction through its investigations of form and narrative, as well as the invasive properties of a recursive society determined to ignore or normalise climate events. The narrative of Foreign Object focuses on John Salmon, a university professor who has been infected by an ancient spore, and the bizarre series of events that follow in his life. Foreign Object is also about Salmon’s attempts to write his own novel about the Anthropocene, and the maddening habits of thought and practice this instils within him. Foreign Object is a distressed novel about recursion and the text interacts with metatextual ideas on the page, which disrupt and commune with the mythology of whole narrative. This section, Accumulation, concerns Salmon’s growing alienation from the madness of real life. The critical introduction discusses the current state of the Anthropocene novel and the theoretical grounding these novels are concerned with
