Creative Healing: An Integrated Art Therapy And Cbt Group For Adults Diagnosed With Depression And Anxiety Disorders-Group Manual, Emily Monson

Dissertations, Theses, and Projects

This group manual was created for adults 18 years and older experiencing symptoms of mood disorders such as Major Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. As of 2017, within the United States, 17.3 million adults are diagnosed with major depression and 6.8 million with generalized anxiety (ADAA.org, 2017). For decades the standard treatment for these mood disorders was the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Research indicates that the current overuse of CBT when treating mood disorders has created a gap in counselor flexibility, thus negatively impacting remission rates of those suffering from depression and anxiety. Emerging research has shown promising …

Change Leadership And The Law School Curriculum, Heminway, Joan Macleod

Santa Clara Law Review

Change is ubiquitous, and lawyers, as trusted advisors to individuals and organizations, must acknowledge and address change. Moreover, as essential, everyday leaders in their many capacities (professional, community-related, and personal) they often find themselves leading change by design or by chance. Remarkably, however, lawyers have little awareness of or training in change leadership, long a mainstay in business management education and literature. Drawing from both this business academic and practice literature and the emergent literature on lawyer leadership, this article briefly makes a case for the purposeful teaching of change leadership across the law school curriculum.

Examining How History Informs The Future Of The Two Sister Professions: Librarianship And Social Work, Rachel L. Edford

Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Presentation at the "The Pasts and Futures of the Library Conference," California State University Fullerton, CA. https://itwebstg.fullerton.edu/lbst_conference/

In Whole person librarianship: a social work approach to patron services, Zettervall and Nienow (2019) aptly refer to librarianship and social work as “sister professions” (p.1), highlighting their gendered histories and similar professional values. A review of recent publications in library science journals and offerings at conferences reveals an interest in collaborations between librarians and social workers in a variety of settings, from social workers and social work students employed at public and academic libraries, to librarians and library staff being trained …

Food Insecurity In The U.S.: Does Citizenship And Birthplace Matter?, Rita B. Thomson

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

Studies generally show higher rates of food insecurity among the immigrant population in the U.S. than among the native born, but often no distinction regarding citizenship and birthplace is made. Nor is the fact that households are often a mixture of foreign born and native born considered. Here data from years 2014-2017 of the Current Population Survey are used to examine household food insecurity in association with household citizenship type and receipt of food assistance. Foreign birth is not always associated with greater risk of food insecurity. Of households including foreign born individuals, only households composed entirely of noncitizens are …

Representations Of Autism In Ontario Newsroom: A Critical Content Analysis Of Online Government Press Releases, Media Advisories, And Bulletins, Margaret Janse Van Rensburg

Faculty and Staff Publications

In Ontario, Canada, autism has become widely politicized. In the last 20 years, instances of personal and organizational advocacy developed into wider-scale policy and programs. Government press releases indicate Ontario’s developing response to autism as a social policy issue, while reflecting societal perceptions and priorities surrounding autism. Informed by Critical Disability Studies and Critical Autism Studies, this article uses a content analysis to explore the manifest and latent priorities of Ontario’s provincial government displayed in press releases between 2001-2019 accessed through the Ontario Newsroom, an online repository of press releases and media advisories that features different initiatives published by …

The Formation Of Civic Consciousness Of Young People As A Political-Technological Phenomenon, Umid Norbekov

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

The formation of civic consciousness of young people is not a psychological process. The fact that the civic consciousness of young people is a political process has become clear in today’s local and national, regional and global socio-political processes. The civic consciousness of young people is achieved through the use of well-thought-out political methods and technologies, the preservation of national identity, identity, ancestral spirituality in young people in today’s era of global information and communication technologies, and civil immunity through inculcating traditional values in their minds. This article is based on the fact that the formation of civic consciousness of …

Employment With The Northwest Territories Aquatics Program: A Significant Life Event?, Sebastien Denize, Audrey R. Giles

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

For over 60 years, the Northwest Territories Aquatics Program (NWTAP) has employed university students from southern Canada with little to no exposure to northern Canada to run seasonal swimming pools and waterfronts in isolated northern communities. In this article, we examine the impact that working for this program had on nine former employees’ lives and whether or not working for the NWTAP could be categorized as a significant life experience. We used thematic analysis of the data from retrospective semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires and identified four themes: (1) employment by the NWTAP enhanced the employees’ self-confidence, independence, and self-efficacy; …

However, do we as educators know how to practically implement SEL in a way that also addresses the trauma many of our kids face? In this presentation, we will discuss how we actually implemented Trauma-Informed SEL practices into our out-of-school-time program with respect to our students who have experienced systematic and systemic trauma.

Donna Regan-Southwick, Oral History Interview, 2022, Matt Jones

Oral Histories

In 2021, Eastern Michigan University Archives lecturer Matt Jones began documenting the story of Ypsilanti’s Human Rights Ordinance #1279 in an effort to explore the ways in which local queer activism has evolved multi-generationally in Ypsilanti. What began as a refusal of service by a local print shop to a small EMU student group quickly turned into a years-long battle over who was deserving of basic human rights. To the LGBTQ activists and community members documented here, they had always been present in the community: working, paying taxes, painting their houses, mowing their lawns, attending council meetings, and even serving …

Virtual Reality And Art History: A Case Study Of Digital Humanities And Immersive Learning Environments, James Hutson, Trent Olsen

Faculty Scholarship

The potential benefits of integrating immersive realities into traditional humanities curricula have been touted over the last two decades, but budgetary and technical constraints of implementation have limited its adoption. However, recent advances in technology, along with more affordable hardware coupled with more user-friendly interfaces, have seen widespread adoption beyond that of the military and healthcare. In fact, higher education institutions are poised to adopt VR on a broader scale to enhance learning with virtual environments. This study seeks to determine the expectations and results of integrating virtual reality into coursework with students and faculty in Art History. The study …

Revisiting The Visitor: Maine's New Uniform Probate Code & The Evolving Role Of The Court-Appointed Visitor In Adult Guardianship Reform, Lisa Kay Rosenthal

Maine Law Review

A judge may appoint a guardian for an adult who does not have the capacity to make decisions affecting their own health or welfare. However, the power of the guardian—while intended to serve a protective function—potentially invites financial, physical, and emotional abuse of the most vulnerable members of society. To help a probate judge understand the circumstances of a guardianship and the need for protection, probate courts in Maine appoint a “visitor” to interview both the person allegedly in need of a guardianship and the proposed guardian. The visitor submits a report to the court which contains the visitor’s observations, …
