“…Consistent with recent counseling psychology scholarship that emphasizes ecological perspectives on psychological distress, we propose that oppressive environments and systemic inequities are salient risk factors for suiciderelated outcomes among people of color (Buhin & Vera, 2009). Although multiple forms of oppression may predict suicide-related outcomes, we focus on racism and racial inequities because of their central relevance to the lives of people of color (Sue, 2003).…”

“…Given our foregoing discussion of the link between racial economic inequality and suicides (see Principle 1), it is possible that environment-centered public policies that reduce racism and racial inequities (Buhin & Vera, 2009) may also prevent suicides in communities of color.

Suicide-related outcomes are a major public health challenge in communities of color in the United States. To address these challenges, this Major Contribution makes theoretical, empirical, and practice-related contributions to scholarship on suicide-related outcomes among people of color. In this article, the authors present a new framework to conceptualize previous suicidology scholarship, address existing literature gaps, and inform counseling psychologists' future work on suicide-related outcomes in U.S. communities of color. The framework consists of three components and nine principles that highlight the types of constructs, populations, and preventive interventions that should be emphasized in theory, research, and practice addressing suicide-related outcomes in communities of color. The authors explain why suicide-related outcomes in communities of color deserve attention, describe the framework, and discuss implications of the framework for future practice and training. It is hoped that this framework can serve as a resource and impetus for new paradigms of suicidology work in communities of color.

“…Leaders’ involvement in couples’ communities may have contributed to a sense of trust with couples as well as assisted the leaders to gain an appreciation and understanding of the environmental realities faced by couples. Consistently, social justice advocates have encouraged mental health professionals to collaborate with community agencies and underserved populations to increase systemic change (Buhin & Vera, 2009). Developing an understanding and appreciation for the barriers faced by couples, leaders can adequately address their needs in order to increase the effectiveness of services.…”

The current study examined the effectiveness of the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) with lower-income and racial/ethnic minority (African American and Latino/a) couples. Additionally, we tested whether relationship outcomes varied based on the delivery format (i.e., group format vs. couple format). The sample included 321 unmarried couples expecting a child or who have a child 3 month old or younger. The couples participated in 16 hr of PREP via a group or a couple format over the course of 2-3 months. Couples relationship quality was assessed prior to and directly after the program. The results showed that men and women demonstrated significant gains in their communication skills, relationship functioning, friendship, dedication, and relationship confidence. Couples who participated in PREP via the couple format had better outcomes on three of the seven relational outcomes as compared to couples who participated in PREP via the group format.

“…Todavia, microssistemas coercitivos e que incentivam padrões relacionais baseados em preconceitos e discriminações de gênero e etnia, por exemplo, podem prejudicar o desenvolvimento harmonioso anteriormente referido, aumentando a chance de surgir problemas de comportamento e dificuldades emocionais, não só na infância como na adolescência e vida adulta (Burhin & Vera, 2009;Del Prette & Del Prette, 2002;Polan et al, 2013;Murta et al, 2012). Além disso, a aprendizagem das habilidades sociais na infância é influenciada por outros contextos dos quais a criança não participa diretamente (exossistema), mas que seus cuidadores (como pais e professores) frequentam (Del Prette & Del Prette, 2001, 2005.…”

RESUMO Este artigo analisa possíveis relações entre o campo teórico-prático das Habilidades Sociais (HS) e o ModeloBioecológico do Desenvolvimento Humano (MBDH). Para isso, descreve e relaciona os pressupostos e conceitoschave de cada um, focalizando as contribuições da perspectiva bioecológica para o estudo do desenvolvimento das habilidades sociais. Defende-se o MBDH como uma alternativa teórico-metodológica que se aproxima de alguns conceitos vinculados a uma vertente teórica relacionada do campo das HS e do Treinamento de Habilidades Sociais (THS). Embora se reconheçam os limites e desafios da presente proposta, entende-se que ela tem o mérito de fomentar novas possibilidades de pesquisa e de prática em trabalhos que contemplem as relações interpessoais e as HS ao longo do ciclo vital. Palavras-chave:Habilidades sociais, modelo bioecológico, desenvolvimento humano. RESUMENEste artículo analiza las posibles relaciones entre el campo teórico y práctico de las habilidades sociales (HS) y el Modelo Bioecológico de Desarrollo Humano (MBDH). Para ello, describe y enumera los supuestos y conceptos clave de cada uno, centrándose en las contribuciones de la perspectiva bioecológica para el estudio del desarrollo de habilidades sociales. Sostiene el MBDH como una alternativa teórico-metodológica que se acerca de algunos conceptos vinculados a un enfoque teórico relacionado del campo de las HS y Entrenamiento en Habilidades Sociales (EHS). A pesar de que reconocen los límites y desafíos de esta propuesta, se entiende que tiene el mérito de promover nuevas oportunidades para la investigación y la práctica en las obras que abordan las relaciones interpersonales y el HS a lo largo del ciclo de vida.Palabras clave: Habilidades Sociales, modelo bioecológico, desarrollo humano. ABSTRACTThis article examines possible relationships between the theoretical and practical of Social Skills (SS) and Bioecological Model of Human Development (BMHD). The study describes and lists the assumptions and key concepts of each, focusing on the contributions of bio-ecological approach to study the development of social skills. It is argued the BMHD as an alternative theoretical and methodological approach of some concepts linked to the theoretical of SS, and Social Skills Training (SST). Although recognizing the limits and challenges of this proposal means that it has the merit of promoting new opportunities for research and practice in works that address the interpersonal relationships and the SS over the life cycle.
