Adverse Childhood Experiences as Context for Youth

Title:
Adverse Childhood Experiences as Context for Youth Assessment and Diagnosis
Author(s):
Kaprea F. Johnson, PhD; Shonn Cheng, PhD; Dana L. Brookover, PhD; and Brett Zyromski, PhD
Description:
Research has found that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can be emotionally painful or distressing, with potentially negative consequences for years. While counselors need to be aware of ACEs, the prevalence rate of ACEs, and how experiencing ACEs impacts mental and behavioral health outcomes, there is a lack of empirical research centered on ACEs and assessing them with children and a need for more information about effectively assessing ACEs and how counselors can use this information in diagnosis, treatment, and their advocacy work (Johnson et al., 2023). Professional counselors, as indicated by Johnson et al., may need to consider adaptations to their practice to include ACEs and enhance their assessment approach as well as diagnosis and intervention, thereby supporting the mental health of youths. Counselors who register for this Continuing Professional Development will learn to understand the predictive relationship between the number of ACEs and demographics in relation to parent-reported depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems. Considerations are presented for best practices, including an ACE assessment for parents to complete for children and for when assessment ACEs are presented. Additionally, as a result of registering for this CE, counselors will be able to discuss implications for counseling professionals and know the implications for future research.
Learning Objectives:
1.Understand the predictive relationships between the number of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and demographics in relation to parent-reported depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems.
2.Discuss the implications for counseling professionals.
3.Know implications for future research.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) includes behavioral and emotional disorders (EBD) as one category of disability under which students may qualify for special education services. Improvements in the identification of and services to students with EBD has long been a priority of the Department of Education. This package of 3.0 hours of continuing education presents peer-reviewed studies, including a study of previous studies (meta-analysis), examining interventions and evidence-based practices for working with children and youths with conduct disorders, externalizing behaviors, emotional-behavioral difficulties. Courses Include:

PEJCD16005 - Meta-Analysis of Counseling Outcomes for Youth with Conduct Disorders
PEJCD15004 - Check-In/Check-Out Intervention with Peer-Monitoring
PEJCD15005 - Effects of Adlerian Play Therapy on Children Externalizing Behavior Without Intervention

Learning Objectives:
  • Examine the efficacy of counseling in reducing conduct disorder symptoms in school-age youth.
  • Analyze the duration of symptom reduction in youth diagnosed with conduct disorder following treatment termination.
  • Explore the check-in/check-out (CICO) intervention with peer-monitoring.
  • Review the effectiveness of the check-in/check-out (CICO) intervention with elementary students experiencing emotional-behavioral difficulties.
  • Explore the effectiveness of Adlerian play therapy on children's classroom behaviors.
  • Review the results of a single-case research design study which suggests Adlerian play therapy as promising intervention for children.

Check-In/Check-Out Intervention With Peer-Monitoring

Title:
Check-In/Check-Out Intervention With Peer-Monitoring for a Student With Emotional-Behavioral Difficulties
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Hallie M. Smith, PhD; Tawny N. Evans-McCleon, PhD; Brooke Urbanski; and Cheryl Justice, PhD
Description:
Providing intervention services to students with emotional-behavioral difficulties (EBD) in the educational setting can be challenging and typically requires collaboration among a number of individuals. The authors used an A-B single-case research design to examine the effectiveness of a check-in/check-out intervention with peer monitoring on the behavior of an elementary student with EBD when using a high school student as a peer monitor. Findings indicated that both students benefited from the intervention.
Learning Objectives:
1.Explore the check-in/check-out (CICO) intervention with peer-monitoring.
2.Review the effectiveness of the check-in/check-out (CICO) intervention with elementary students experiencing emotional-behavioral difficulties.

Childhood Psychological Maltreatment, Sense of Self, and PTS

Title:
Childhood Psychological Maltreatment, Sense of Self, and PTSD Symptoms in Emerging Adulthood
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Justin R. Watts, PhD; Nicholas R. Lazzareschi; Yanhong Liu, PhD; and Deirdre O'Sullivan, PhD
Description:
Child maltreatment (CM) is a significant public health issue that negatively impacts behavioral, physical, and psychological health across the lifespan (MaWatts et al., 2023). More specifically, Watts et al. stated that child psychological maltreatment (CPM) has been identified as a greater predictor of more severe PTSD symptoms when compared to other types of abuse; however, they explain that current treatments for CM associated with PTSD may not be as effective and that research on PTSD specifically associated with CPM is lacking. This Continuing Professional Development resources provides counselors with a rationale to understand the relationships among childhood psychological maltreatment (CPM), sense of self (SOS), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), know counseling interventions that focus on SOS during emerging adulthood for survivors of CPM who experience PTSD symptoms, and explain specific counseling practice and research implications.
Learning Objectives:
1.Understand the relationships among childhood psychological maltreatment (CPM), sense of self (SOS), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
2.Know counseling interventions that focus on SOS during emerging adulthood for survivors of CPM who experience PTSD symptoms,
3.Explain specific counseling practice and research implications

Effects of Adlerian Play Therapy on Children’s Externalizing

Title:
Effects of Adlerian Play Therapy on Children’s Externalizing Behavior
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Kristin K. Meany-Walen, PhD; Terry Kottman, PhD; Quinn Bullis, MA; and Dalenna Dillman Taylor, PhD
Description:
Without intervention, children’s externalizing behaviors tend to worsen over time and increase the risk that they will experience future problems. The authors used a single-case research design with 6 Caucasian boys in kindergarten and 1st grade to measure the effectiveness of Adlerian play therapy on children’s classroom behaviors. The results revealed an improvement in the children’s behavior during and after the intervention, suggesting that Adlerian play therapy is a promising intervention for children’s externalizing classroom behaviors.
Learning Objectives:
1.Explore the effectiveness of Adlerian play therapy on children’s classroom behaviors.
2.Review the results of a single-case research design study which suggests Adlerian play therapy as promising intervention for children.

Examining Coping and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury

Title:
Examining Coping and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Among Adolescents: A Profile Analysis
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Amanda L. Giordano; Elizabeth A. Prosek; Erika L. Schmit; and Michael K. Schmit
Description:
In the U.S., an estimated 72% of adolescents hospitalized in an inpatient unit reported a history of NSSI, and 85.3% of adolescents explicitly hospitalized due to a suicidal attempt or ideation in the past month reported NSSI (Giordano et al., 2022). Given the prevalence of NSSI among adolescent populations, it is important to understand the characteristics of those who engage in NSSI compared to those who do not. For counselors, explained Giordano et al., one important characteristic to consider is coping strategies. This Continuing Professional Development resource provides counselors with a rationale to: (1) know differences in coping strategies between adolescents with a history of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and those without, (2) understand the relationship between coping and NSSI, and (3) recognize implications to inform clinical practice and future studies.
Learning Objectives:
1. Know differences in coping strategies between adolescents with a history of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and those without, 2. Understand the relationship between coping and NSSI, 3. Recognize implications to inform clinical practice and future studies.

Meta-Analysis of Counseling Outcomes for Youth With Conduct

Title:
Meta-Analysis of Counseling Outcomes for Youth With Conduct Disorders
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Bradley T. Erford, PhD; Gerta Bardhoshi, PhD; Margaret Ross; Chelsea Gunther, MEd; Kelly Duncan, PhD
Description:
Twenty-one clinical trials were synthesized using a random effects model substantiating that counseling generally produces a medium effect in treating conduct disorder in youth at termination (d+ = .30-.57; k = 28). However, the lasting effects at follow-up were unclear because few follow-up studies (k = 13) have been conducted (d+ = -.53 - .58), and only two randomized controlled follow-up studies were located. No effects of moderating variables were evident, and implications for counseling practice and outcome research were addressed.
Learning Objectives:
1.Examine the efficacy of counseling in reducing conduct disorder symptoms in school-age youth.
2.Analyze the duration of symptom reduction in youth diagnosed with conduct disorder following treatment termination
