“…An inductive mode of analysis 41 MAJOR RESEARCH PAPER will open up possibilities for further discussion and discovery based on the participant's disclosures (Connelly & Clandini, 1990). Madigan (2019) describes narrative therapy as a practice based on the idea that people make meaning in the world about who they are-and who they are in relation to others-through a dialogic relationship that is shaped by the prevailing cultural group. I will use Schafer's (1981) narrative therapy approach by focusing on the participant's narratives and how they connect with their acculturative stress through the use of spirituality (as cited in Connelly & Clandini, 1990).…”

Some international students arrive in Canada with the assumption that academic institutions will treat them equally in comparison to domestic students. However, equal access to opportunities is not always the case. Unregulated annual tuition fees, immigration policies and a lack of culturally responsive services create challenges for international students that are not shared by domestic students (Chen, 2008; Mayuzumi et al., 2007; Montison, 2018). Canadian post-secondary institutions lack culturally responsive spiritual services that may support international students with their acculturation issues. Child and youth care practitioners may encourage the use of culturally responsive interventions which incorporate spirituality when providing support to international students in their acculturation to Canadian life. Keywords: spirituality, attachment theory, attachment figure, religion, faith, international students, Child and Youth Care Practitioners, post-secondary institutions, Canada, Canadian Government.

“…Narrative therapy (NT) emphasizes personal experience and elaboration of meaning, and has attracted increasing attention in the practice of psychotherapy and social work ( Danner et al, 2007 ). NT primarily focuses on people’s personal expression of their life experiences ( Freedman, 1996 ; Madigan, 2019 ; Morgan, 2000 ; White, 2007 ). NT views people as experts in their own lives, who possess abilities, knowledge, and wisdom that assists them to cope with difficult life situations.…”

Background and Objectives We developed a new group practice using strength- and meaning-based Narrative Therapy (NT) for older Chinese living in Hong Kong (HK), to enhance their life wisdom. This paper reports on the intervention and its short- and longer-term effectiveness. Research Design and Methods A randomized waitlist-controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. A total of 157 older adults were randomly recruited, of whom 75 were randomly assigned to the intervention group which received four two-hour bi-weekly NT sessions using the ‘Tree of Life’ (ToL) metaphor. The others were placed on a waitlist. Perceived wisdom was assessed using the Brief Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (BSAWS). Assessment occurred at baseline (T0), end of treatment (T1), and four (T2) and eight months later (T3). Over-time effects of NT on wisdom scores were assessed using latent growth curve models with time-invariant covariates for impact. Results The intervention (NT) group showed significant, sustainable over-time within-group improvement in perceived wisdom. Moreover, compared with the control group, the NT group showed significant immediate improvements in perceived wisdom [F(2.726, p = 0.041)], which were maintained at all follow-up points. This effect remained after controlling for age, gender and educational level [TML(11) = 17.306, p = 0.098, RMSEA = 0.079, CFI = 0.960]. No adverse reaction was recorded. Discussion and Implications NT underpinned by a ToL methodology offers a new theory to understand, promote and appreciate perceived wisdom in older Chinese living in HK. It contributes to psychotherapy and professional social work practice for older Chinese.

“…perceptions of themselves and their ability to change is closely bound up with the society and cultural in which they live (Madigan, 2019;Payne, 2006). Therefore, to bring about change in how students relate to others in institutions, such as schools, depends not only on their motivation and sense of agency to change themselves and their circumstances but equally importantly on how flexible organizations are in accommodating them.…”

“…This narrative interpretation of identity, foregrounds how individuals' perceptions of themselves are constructed within their socio-cultural word by dialogical interactions with significant others and, when reflecting on past events, by themselves. The purpose of narrative counselling is to make these internalized dialogues, informed by beliefs and assumptions developed over time, explicit so that they can be reflected on and reframed (Madigan, 2019;Payne, 2006).…”

A new form of narrative counselling for adolescents at risk of exclusion was piloted in three schools with eleven students between the ages of 13-14 years over a 6-7week period. The intervention took into consideration that compared to adults, adolescents are more susceptible to being influenced by their immediate surroundings of home and school. A measure of progress on a student engagement scale showed an improvement in educational engagement, particularly in students' behavioural engagement in class. The process of narrative counselling adolescents at school is described and the issues addressed in the narrative counselling sessions are discussed. Finally, the inclusive ethos of the secondary schools that the counsellors worked in are considered, as they facilitated or hindered the counselling intervention
