“…For example, when clinician and support staff training is specifically targeted towards improving parent engagement and retention in services, parent participation improves (McKay et al, 1996). In addition to this study, other research has identified door-to-door outreach, persistence, responsiveness, and resource linkages as key for parent engagement (Alameda-Lawson, Lawson, & Lawson, 2010). …”

This study explored parent engagement in an evidence-based treatment, the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS), which was delivered in a school setting. To examine the successes and challenges in engaging parents in this school-based program, we conducted qualitative interviews by phone to obtain data from clinicians, parents, and other school personnel across eleven schools from 3 different regions of the United States. Almost all of these schools served low-income and ethnically diverse communities. We describe general impressions of parent engagement, parent reactions and preferences with regard to CBITS, barriers to parent engagement, and how to overcome barriers from multiple perspectives. Parent engagement across schools varied, with extensive outreach and relatively good parent engagement in CBITS described in some schools, while in other schools, efforts to engage parents were not as consistent. Implications for future efforts to engage parents in school-based treatments are discussed.

“…Many health systems emphasize instrumental outcomes rather than individual outcomes. This can potentially cause issues for social workers as the nature of the role also demands a supportive relationship (Alameda-Lawson, Lawson, and Lawson, 2010).…”

This investigation aims to examine the differences between social workers from Arab nations and their potential triggers for job burnout. Job burnout is a form of job stress involving physical, emotional, or mental fatigue and usually including beliefs of inadequate job competence. This form of stress can affect mental wellbeing and cause health complications for social workers. Therefore, it is important to prevent burnout to promote employees' health and wellbeing. Research suggests that social workers are very likely to experience job burnout. Although there have been a few investigations into job burnout in the Middle East, none has studied this in various Arab nations. Thus, this research aims to identify the differences between Qatar, Egypt, Jordon, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Oman social workers' burnout levels using self-reported questionnaires. The results indicate that social workers from Egypt are more susceptible to constructs affecting social workers identified in these Arab countries. The results are discussed with recommendations for prevention plans.

“…When parents are engaged with their children's schools, social support and access to information and resources are fostered (Alameda‐Lawson et al . ), and the benefits of these can be extended to custodial grandparents. Active engagement helps families understand the school system as a whole, including learning about the many roles of school personnel (Olsen & Fuller ).…”

Custodial grandparents play a significant role in sustaining healthy families, but the caregiving is demanding. A social research design and development process informed a school district‐university partnership project responding to the needs of a group of custodial grandparents. Three phases of the project are described: (i) needs assessment; (ii) design and implementation of a psychoeducational group facilitated by social work faculty and a school district administrator; and (iii) evaluation of programme impact. Major themes from the needs assessment and evaluation are presented. Discussion highlights the need for school and family engagement, recognition of the significant changes in family role required for grandparents, and viewing custodial grandparents as leaders and engaged caregivers. The meaning of diversity in group intervention for this population is also explored.
