This research uses the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC) Scale to gauge the readiness of school mental health practitioners (i.e., school psychologists, social workers, and counselors) to shift toward trauma-sensitive systems. Despite the reliance on school mental health practitioners in this movement, little research exists on their preparedness for and training in trauma-informed approaches. In hope of better situating schools to act as buffers against the adverse effects of childhood trauma, this research seeks to inform graduate and professional-level training on disciplinary practice, causes of student behavior, and the protective nature of secure adult relationships.
The purpose of this study is to explore how K-12 educators teaching English and Social Studies are searching for, evaluating, and using primary source materials in their classrooms to understand more about their information needs.
Family caregivers of older adults with cognitive impairment experience significant care burden, impacting their mental health and well-being. Studies indicate that heightened caregiver burden can negatively affect the caregiver-patient relationship, leading to increased behavioral and psychological symptoms in patients with cognitive impairment. These symptoms, in turn, increase caregiver burden and worsen their mental health. However, limited evidence characterizes these complex interpersonal dynamics. Therefore, the overall objective of the study is to deeply explore the experiences of family caregivers of individuals with cognitive impairment, with a focus on their mental well-being.

This study seeks to understand the challenges federal social scientists experiencing when working with rural and urban people and places. Much of what is known about the challenges of working in urban and rural places comes from the perspectives of academic scholars, researchers, and perspectives. We expect that researcher affiliation with governmental agencies creates additional challenges. The findings from this study will identify unique and overlapping challenges and best practices from the perspectives of environmental social scientists working for the federal government,
