The United States has been looking for ways to improve STEM participation in these groups for many years now, through outreach, legislation and innovative academic programs.

The ramifications of mental illness within society have had significant impact economically and socially.

Although the need for mental health services is not new, its' impact on society continues to grow. Thus, the need for mental …

Development Of A Resource Manual For Working With Latino Parolees, Abner Flores
Development Of A Resource Manual For Working With Latino Parolees, Abner Flores
Theses and Dissertations
The standard psychological treatment available for Latino men who are newly released from prison has remained unchanged for over thirty years and focuses on decreasing recidivism through cognitive-behavioral interventions by managing and decreasing law-breaking behaviors. However, clinical experience with inmates suggests that personal experiences, cultural values, and intergenerational trauma along with the long-term impact of poverty, gang ties, and repeated incarceration will all influence post-release behavior. Understanding these areas could help draw out protective factors and innate resiliency, therefore informing treatment and helping newly released inmates from becoming repeat offenders. In this dissertation, I developed a resource manual for service …

This study explored two research questions: What are the lived experiences of being a Black male creator in the film industry? And to what extent do Black males feel their identity …

Bullying Prevention And Social Justice: Recommendations For Teachers, Anna Grigorian-Routon
Bullying Prevention And Social Justice: Recommendations For Teachers, Anna Grigorian-Routon
Theses and Dissertations
Though bullying was once considered a "rite of passage," in recent years experts have begun to re-conceptualize bullying as an imbalance of power between the bully and the victim and to recognize the deleterious mental health outcomes that are often the result of having experienced or having participated in bullying. This phenomenon is also coming to be viewed more broadly as a human rights violation as it creates and perpetuates barriers for specific student populations to equal access to education. Historically, teachers have been among the most outspoken advocates of social justice issues and are on the front lines of …
