Self-Compassion Integrated Art Therapy For Mothers During A Pandemic, Shannon Dover
Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses
This thesis reviews literature related to parental mental health and the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

One hundred thirty-one diverse parents (97.7%), and legal guardians (2.3%) with children in elementary school (Mage = 8.05) were recruited for participation …

The second issue is to learn, alongside the question of the quality of school recess, how parents’ work …

To address these gaps in literature, the current study recruited college students from a mid-sized public university in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States to complete a survey. The survey assessed the participants’ past attitudes toward bullying, perceptions of their parents’ and peers’ influence on their attitudes, and bullying participant roles during …
