“…It occurs across income levels and family structures including coresidential or absent parents and in grandparent- or parent-maintained households. It happens because of assisting family members, a need due to a social problem, or for the transmission of family and cultural values (Brown, Gourdine, Waites, & Owens, 2013; Lee et al, 2006). It is broadly defined as caregiving for grandchildren.…”

Grandmother caregiving in African American communities is a tradition used across social classes and circumstances of adult children and grandchildren. Yet, in the literature, it is viewed as a strategy used when the well-being of children is in jeopardy, families have low-incomes and limited resources, and parents are experiencing social problems. However, Mrs. Marian Shields Robinson is serving as a grandmother caregiver to the first African American First Family in the White House. This article provides an expanded view on the variations of grandmother caregiving by critically analyzing it and Mrs. Robinson’s role to provide social workers with four implications for practice.

“…Empirical evidence suggests that the challenges that families faced and continue to face in the 21st century have significantly increased compared to previous eras. For example, Brown and colleagues [ 3 ] highlighted how the high costs of childcare facilities, the inability of parents to reconcile the rhythms of family life with those of working life, the few rights of parents who work, the concern for the future of children, and the high cost of living and education, have intensified the dissatisfaction of parents in general, and have made parenting tasks more challenging. Those challenges are significantly intensified due to the recent event of the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected all people around the world.…”

This study aims to cross-culturally identify the parental socialization strategies in response to a child’s happiness and their associations with youth academic and socio-emotional adjustment, controlling for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were a convenient sample of Italian (N = 606, 81.9% mothers) and Azerbaijanis (N = 227, 61.4% mothers) parents of youths (Mage = 12.89, SD = 4.06; 51% girls). Parents filled out an online survey to assess their socialization strategies in response to their children’s happiness, their children’s negative emotion regulation and dysregulation, academic performance, and prosocial behavior. Exploratory factorial analysis showed the presence of two factors that enclosed supportive and unsupportive parental socialization strategies. A multiple-group path analysis model showed that similarly across countries, supportive parental strategies were positively related to youths’ prosocial behavior and that unsupportive parental strategies were positively related to youths’ negative emotion dysregulation, and negatively related to youths’ academic performance and negative emotion regulation. Those results emerged controlling for parents’ and adolescents’ gender and age, parents’ educational level, social desirability, and Covid-related problems. This study advances cross-cultural knowledge about the impact of the strategies that parents use to socialize their children’s happiness in the unique context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Support services exist at multiple levels of care and interact with each other, forming a broad network of support that collectively meets the emotional and behavioral health needs of youths. For example, seeking help from a school professional may lead to referrals and subsequent engagement with other supportive services that can address the needs of both the youths and their families (e.g., psychological counseling, psychiatric hospitalization, parenting classes; Alegría et al, 2012; Brown et al, 2013). Additionally, youths and families who receive psychological counseling may be more likely to be connected to school professionals to manage academic accommodations (Green et al, 2017), offered parenting classes (Patterson, 2005), provided education on crisis resources (e.g., crisis hotline, psychiatric hospitalization; Duong et al, 2020; Gould et al, 2012), and/or have access to telepsychology services in response to a global pandemic (Vázquez, Navarro Flores, et al, 2021).…”

Juntos hacemos la diferencia [together we make the difference]: A network analysis of Latinx caregivers' use of youth support services

et al. 2023

Latinx families face unique barriers to accessing traditional youth mental health services and may instead rely on a wide range of supports to meet youth emotional or behavioral concerns. Previous studies have typically focused on patterns of utilization for discrete services, classified by setting, specialization, or level of care (e.g., specialty outpatient, inpatient, informal supports), yet little is known about how youth support services might be accessed in tandem. This analysis used data from the Pathways to Latinx Mental Health study – a national sample of Latinx caregivers (N = 598) from across the United States collected at the start of the coronavirus pandemic (i.e., May–June 2020) – to describe the broad network of available supports that are used by Latinx caregivers. Using exploratory network analysis, we found that the use of youth psychological counseling, telepsychology, and online support groups was highly influential on support service utilization in the broader network. Specifically, Latinx caregivers who used one or more of these services for their child were more likely to report utilizing other related sources of support. We also identified five support clusters within the larger network that were interconnected through specific sources of support (i.e., outpatient counseling, crisis, religious, informal, and non‐specialty). Findings offer a foundational look at the complex system of youth supports available to Latinx caregivers, highlighting areas for future study, opportunities to advance the implementation of evidence‐based interventions, and channels through which to disseminate information about available services.
