AWARD for BEST PRACTICE
in SCHOOL-BASED FAMILY COUNSELING
This award recognizes organizations such as community agencies, schools,
and colleges for developing an exemplary SBFC program.
2018 Place2Be
Place2Be as an exemplar of SBFC because of its emphasis on interventions that link home and school at more than 300 schools in the UK, the size and longevity of its programs, and the fiscal model that sustains its existence.
2019 Sifriyat Pijama
Using a combined school- and home-based model, books are delivered to children from diverse backgrounds: religious and secular; immigrant and Israeli-born; disadvantaged and wealthy. Within this diversity the books serve as a unifying influence, as teachers work together with families to encourage a love of reading, enhance the children's individual and collective identities, and reinforce the values and cultural heritage reflected in the stories. Evaluation findings and anecdotal testimonials consistently demonstrate that the program not only promotes children's budding literacy capabilities, but also impacts family reading habits, empowers disadvantaged families, and promotes a common literary and cultural canon among different strata of society.
2020 Mission Possible: A Private Practice Model for Implementing School-Based Family Counseling
The Mission Possible Program, developed by Christine L. Tippett, LCSW, LMFT, in collaboration with the Natomas Unified School District, is an example of a Best Practice program in SBFC. Between 1994 and 2020, it functioned in a private practice model, providing SBFC mental health services to youth and families in elementary and secondary schools throughout Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties in California.
2021 Disastershock Global Response Team
In 2020 Dr. Sue Linville Shaffer played a critical role in forming the Disastershock Global Volunteer Team. This 101 person team developed 30 translations of the book Disastershock: How to Cope with the Emotional Stress of a Major Disaster and made them available free globally to families affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. In Fall, 2020 the team renamed to the Disastershock Global Response Team and developed a school version of the Disastershock book for principals and teachers. In addition the team developed Tip Sheets for easy distribution of coping information, developed a dedicated website with Arts & Recovery programing, a Facebook site, and conducted research into best practices for dealing with the pandemic. The Disastershock Global Response Team is an example of a Best Practice in SBFC developed to address disaster affecting families and schools.
