The Children’s Mental Health eReview promotes use of research in practice and policy in order to improve services for children. Each eReview issue features (i) a review of published research in a specific area related to children’s mental health, and (ii) a collection of responses from different types of service providers regarding use of that research. The primary audience for the eReview is children’s mental health service providers, policy-makers and policy-implementers, but content is appropriate for parents and anyone working with children and families.

    Creating Trauma-Informed Systems of Child Welfare
    (St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, Children, Youth and Family Consortium, 2011-03) Michaels, Cari
    This is the third issue in a series focusing on trauma and child welfare. This issue addresses systems-level changes that can help improve communication and service delivery and ultimately reduce trauma for children. The pool of literature pertaining to trauma-related systems change is limited. However, the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) has identified several Essential Elements of Trauma-Informed Child Welfare Practice (http://www.nctsnet.org/nctsn_assets/pdfs/CWT3_SHO_EEs.pdf). To better understand how child welfare systems are incorporating these elements into their work, representatives from three different geographical areas were interviewed for this issue. Respondents represent different areas of expertise and utilize different lenses from which they view the child welfare system. Respondents were chosen because of their perspectives about what trauma-informed child welfare looks like as well as their knowledge of specific practices related to assessment, reducing traumatic symptoms, coordination of services, and public policy. This issue illustrates how child welfare systems are changing to better meet the trauma needs of children, with specific attention to policies and practices in Minnesota

    Parents and stress: Understanding experiences, context, and responses
    (St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension, Children, Youth and Family Consortium, 2015-05) Cronin, Sarah; Becher, Emily; Christians, Kris Schmiesing; Debb, Stephanie
    How do parents experience stress? How does the social environment, economic hardship, and the very nature of parenting contribute to a parent's stress and coping? Learn how parents and their families are influenced - physically, cognitively, and emotionally - by their experiences with stress. Find coping strategies and ways to help families as they navigate stressors in their environment. "In our context as urban public educators (who remain largely European-American), we are tasked with reducing bias in our practice in order to reduce the wide gaps in achievement between white students and students of color. Parental stress research acknowledges that the wide variety in parent appraisal of a child’s behavior is largely connected to personality differences and/or family and social norms. Acknowledgment that those family and social norms are culturally mediated rather than universal could lead to further research that attempts to avoid bias" (eReview author K. Christians).

    Children in Common: Ensuring the Emotional Well-being of Children When Parenting Apart
    (St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension, Children, Youth and Family Consortium, 2015-10) McCann, Ellie; Olson, Kjersti; Hall, Eugene; Giles, Maisha; Onell, Stephen; McCullough, Rose; McGuire, Jenifer; Michaels, Cari
    Despite the growing literature on coparenting and divorce education interventions, little has been written about the practice of delivering courtmandated parent education programs for both divorced and unmarried parents living apart. Through its sustained investment in supporting Minnesota families affected by divorce or separation with its Parents Forever™1 parent education program and its partnership with Hennepin County’s Co-parent Court2 project, University of Minnesota Extension is able to explore the intersection of research about coparenting with the practice of court-mandated parent education programs for both divorcing and separating nevermarried parents. Thus, this article summarizes the latest research findings on selected coparenting issues that have practical importance to both divorcing and nevermarried parents living apart. This article also highlights recent research on the practice of parent education as it affects both divorcing and separated never-married parents, as well as a foundational discussion of coparenting issues and parent-education practice from the experiences and perspectives of parent-education stakeholders. We, the authors, also have included illustrative quotations from stakeholders in the Parents Forever™ program and in Hennepin County Coparent Court — quotations cited in recent studies of the Parents Forever™ program (PF) (Olson, Brady & Marzcak, 2012) and Co-parent Court (CPC) (Hardman, Ruhland & Becher, 2014).
