Integrating Physical Activity, Coach Collaboration, And Life Skill Development In Youth: School Counselors’ Perceptions, Laura Hayden, Amy Cook, Alexandra Scherer, Scott Greenspan, Meghan Silva, Melanie Cadet, Erik Maki

Laura A Hayden

Given the social, emotional, and academic benefits of physical activity related to youth development (Hellison, 2011), coupled with the minimal research regarding how school counselors can use physical activity for life skill development, this article focuses on school counselors’ beliefs about collaborating with coaches and using physical activity to develop life skills. In surveying 338 school counselors, we found support for collaborating with coaches and using physical activity to develop life skills, in addition to interest in training opportunities for school counselors to integrate physical activity into their job. Implications for school counselors, coaches, and other stakeholders are provided.

Exploring The Relationship Between Universal-Diverse Orientation And Personality, Jean A. Roberts, John M. Laux, Andrew M. Burck

Andrew M. Burck

Initial results supported this hypothesis; however, post hoc analyses indicated that …

Healing Through Movement: The Benefits Of Belly Dance For Gendered Victimization, Angela Moe Dec 2013

Healing Through Movement: The Benefits Of Belly Dance For Gendered Victimization, Angela Moe

Angela M. Moe

Perceptions of “belly dance” are that it is degrading, exploitive, and incongruous to feminism. Curiously, however, the dance is incredibly popular in various parts of the world, including the United States, as a form of recreation and creative expression. This paper examines the apparent disconnect between public perception and practitioner standpoint. Findings indicate a strong holistic healing component, particularly in terms of gendered interpersonal victimization, where belly dance seems to hold potential for self-exploration and discovery. Grounded historically, culturally and empirically, these findings are discussed in terms of their application to social work practice as it relates to alternative therapies.
