Universal meal programs were created to mitigate childhood food insecurity in low-income communities. It is well known that poverty and food insecurity go hand-in-hand and are often the basis for much academic research within the realm of childhood food insecurity. This study investigates the impact of universal meal programs on food insecurity from a different perspective, that of the middle class. As an under-researched area, the hope is to draw attention to the needs of communities that are often forgotten and may not qualify for social programs, in an effort to reform existing federal policy regarding Universal Meal programs.

These neuropsychiatric sequelae can characterize the quality of life of TBI survivors.

Long-term social isolation, common among TBI survivors, has also been linked with an increased likelihood of aggressive behavior.

Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationships connecting aggression and self-perception with quality of life of …

This qualitative applied communication analysis uses MAXQDA software to ascertain similarities in word choice between the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food code and state legislative material.

The New Age Of Christian Healing Ministry And Spirituality: A Meta-Synthesis Exploring The Efficacy Of Christian-Adapted Complementary Therapies For Adult Survivors Of Familial Trauma, Amanda Lynne Brees
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Adult survivors of familial trauma present with many seemingly unrelated psychiatric and relational issues well into adulthood. Developmental and familial trauma is emerging in the research as a subset of complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). This specific type of trauma is rooted in attachment and family systems theory. Issues such as divorce, parental substance abuse, mental illness, enmeshment, parentification, abandonment, and abuse get passed down intergenerationally in vicious cycles until someone finds the courage to heal. Pastoral counselors are uniquely equipped to lead the third wave of cognitive-behavioral therapies proving effective in treating complex trauma includes mindfulness and complementary therapies …
