Abstract:

New immigrants to Canada are identified as a vulnerable population in mental health and, as a result, organizations are signaling the need to enhance their mental health supports. The research uses focus groups and questions based on the messaging of a Canadian school mental health program to understand how new immigrant mothers interpret and develop key aspects of their mental health literacy and how they attain parent empowerment. A thematic assessment of the knowledge, interpretation, action and decision-making of the study participants (n=7), all recent immigrants to Canada and mothers of

Abstract:

Although it is understood that stigma about mental ill-health emerges in middle childhood, and that parental communications are highly influential in children’s developing attitudes, almost nothing is known about the messages parents communicate to young children about mental health problems and how these might contribute to the perpetuation of stigma. This study aimed to address this gap in the literature by exploring parents' communications to their primary-school aged children around mental health and ill-health. Semi structured interviews were carried out with ten parents of children aged

Abstract:

Although collaboration between school psychologists and community-based mental health professionals is essential in the provision of comprehensive and effective mental health services for youth with intensive mental health needs, youth may not receive the full benefit of these coordinated efforts, as collaboration may not occur as often as it should. This study investigated the frequency of communication and collaboration between school- and community-based professionals, the purposes and methods of communication, and the benefits and barriers to collaboration.

Abstract:

In the past two years, six National Football League players have died by suicide.

As is the case with many health issues, tragedy often precedes action; the suicides of these high profile football stars have catalyzed action on concussion policy and practice, as well as opened up the conversation about the overall mental health of athletes.

Abstract:

Writers from a number of theoretical backgrounds have asserted that agreement in the emotional messages conveyed by various verbal and nonverbal communication channels is related to the communicator's psychological health. If this conjecture is accurate, then congruence among communication channels could be used as a behaviorally based assessment tool. However, empirical research to test this theoretical and clinical assumption is relatively lacking. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that individuals who display congruence (agreement) between verbal (language), verbal/vocal

In this project, I contributed to filling this gap by looking at the lyrics of American rapper, NF.

Abstract:

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are an important part of society today. Older adults often report ICTs as difficult to use and unhelpful; however, ICTs can support older adults’ ability to stay in touch with family and friends across long distances and help increase their quality of life. Unfortunately, training programs targeted at teaching older adults to use ICTs are often costly and time-consuming. The current study attempts to determine whether advertisements depicting older adults using ICTs can be used to increase self-efficacy without the use of training programs. A w

Abstract:

The number of people dealing with mental health issues like depression is increasing in Sweden. One common tool used by healthcare practitioners when treating depression is the use of self-assessment questionnaires, which estimates how severe the depression is. The current modus operandi is to let patients answer questionnaires with pen-and-paper, a practice with major inefficiencies. Our aim was to develop an ICT (information and communication technology) system that enables efficient and effective communication between patients and practitioners. Efficient in the way that manually transferri

Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation is to gather insights from construction workers regarding their perceptions of the impact personal stress may have on their own behavior, and, in turn, how their behavior can affect the safety and work quality of the entire construction crew. It has been found in this investigation that although personal stress is not always verbally shared with coworkers, it is recognized by colleagues via nonverbal cues. In addition, most construction workers report that they do not receive appropriate social support from their co-workers, despite their need for it.<br>Depar

Abstract:

School settings are increasingly being targeted as ideal entry points for youth mental health initiatives and naturally, educators have been identified as playing a critical role in supporting youth in distress. The current study set out to investigate how to strengthen the ability of educators to support youth experiencing bullying and mental health difficulties. The study was conducted in two phases: an initial phase in which a mental health literacy and communication skills workshop for educators was developed and refined, and a second phase in which the workshop was pilot-tested.

Abstract:

Poucos são os dados epidemiológicos sobre as alterações da comunicação em serviços de saúde mental. Porém, através de experiências clínicas e de estudos realizados em instituições psiquiátricas, foram observadas em indivíduos com diagnóstico de transtornos mentais, principalmente de esquizofrenia, variações dos aspectos comunicativos, sendo a linguagem o componente mais afetado. Nestes indivíduos, o relacionamento e a vida em sociedade estão prejudicados, e essas questões estão intimamente ligadas aos processos de comunicação. Então, conhecer e avaliar seus comportamentos comunicativos permite
