“…This higher prevalence rate had been observed in conjunction with fewer institutional mental health resources when compared with traditional universities (Katz & Davison, 2014). Research into the challenges facing community college students in relation to mental health difficulties is in its infancy and even less is known about the levels of physical health difficulties among students in such institutions.…”

A considerable amount of stigma-related health research has been conducted in school-aged and university students, yet few studies involved young people enrolled at further education colleges. The present study aims to investigate the role of social support on the consequences of stigma on general health and social functioning in students in Colleges of Further Education (CFE) living with chronic illness. Participants of this study (n = 55) were students in CFE in Ireland aged 18-25 years diagnosed with a chronic illness. Self-report measures were used to assess stigma, social support, social functioning and general health. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with 2000 bootstrapped samples a model was constructed and tested to answer the research questions of the study. SEM revealed a good model fit to data (χ 2 = 2.12, df = 2, p = .33). Stigma negatively predicted general health and social functioning in youth living with chronic illness. The bootstrapped mediational model showed that social support from family, friends and a significant other partially mediated the influence of stigma on social functioning but not on general health. Stigma is an important element that negatively influences aspects of well-being in young adults living with chronic illnesses. Youth that perceive their environment to be more supportive tend to have less self-stigma attitudes and better functioning. Understanding how stigma operates in students in CFE can be used to design effective interventions.

“…In particular, college students who were living with MHDs had increased risks for lower academic retention rates, higher incidence of unwanted sexual behavior, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, social isolation, and suicide (Kalkbrenner, 2016;Mackenzie et al, 2011;Unick, Snowden, & Hastings, 2009). Few studies, however have investigated MHDs in community college settings (Dobmeier, Kalkbrenner, Hill, & Hernández, 2013;Katz & Davison, 2014).…”

“…The text summarized by Katz and Davison (2014) reveals that community colleges, unlike four-year colleges, mostly serve the working class, single parents, undocumented students, ethnic minorities, middle-aged students, individuals with physical disabilities, and veterans. Mental health disorders dominate low-SES individuals because they are exposed to greater stress and environmental adversity (Dohrenwend et al, 1998).…”

A Medical Archaeopedagogy of the Human Body as a Trauma-Informed Teaching Strategy for Indigenous Mexican-American Students

In this article, three co-authors share their narratives and clay figurines sculpted during the Mesoamerican Figurine Project of Rio Hondo College (Garcia, in press-a). Through reflective writing exercises and the sculpting of small-scale clay figurines, Los Angeles-based MexicanAmerican students unearthed parts of their Mesoamerican ancestry and materialized their stories of displacement and violence to assist in meeting student learning outcomes (SLOs). After interpreting these data alongside the medical tools observed on the four Tezcatlipocas of Mesoamerica (Acosta, 2007), the supposition is that Indigenous Mesoamerican students benefit when engaged through the following topics: 1) land and cosmology, 2) trauma and medicine, 3) resiliency and self-determination, and 4) community and family. To support all students' educational and mental health goals, and to prevent further trauma accumulation, the Mesoamerican figurine is modeled as a pedagogical tool with a wide range of therapeutic values.By employing a critical autoethnographic approach (Ohito, 2017), Instructor Garcia's ancestral knowledge-combined with his students' insights-enabled his conceptualization of a medical archaeopedagogy of the human body as a trauma-informed teaching strategy (Cole, Eisner, Gregory, & Ristuccia, 2013) to begin to address the mental health challenges prevalent in the MexicanAmerican community related to the cultural genocide of Native Americans.
