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.

As of 2020, EdCamp Ukraine is the second biggest EdCamp community in the world, and the biggest community of educators in Ukraine.

The EdCamp Ukraine movement is supported by a non-governmentalnon-profit public organization of the same name, which focuses on improving the Ukrainian education system. EdCamp Ukraine organizes career-enhancement training for teachers, lobbies the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science for educational reforms, and organizes various projects for educators and students."

                           2022 Diasatershock Ambassador Program

The Disastershock Global Response Team Ambassador Program is designed to give high school students from around the world an opportunity to participate as interns in the Disastershock Global Response Team (DGRT). The Disastershock Global Response Team is an international humanitarian relief organization dedicated to providing coping resources to children and families affected by disaster-related stress. DGRT Ambassadors are high school volunteers who, with parent permission, contribute 1-3 hours a week during a single 4 month period (September - December; January - April; May - August).

Intern activities include:Attending monthly general DGRT meetings on zoom; Participating in smaller zoom work teams such as : Educator Collaboration Team, Tip Sheets Team, Arts & Recovery Team, Facebook Team, Research Team; Assisting in distributing free DGRT stress-reduction resources through the internet to communities affected by disaster; Developing internet resources for the Disastershock website disastershock.com (e.g. resources for making schools more resilient and better prepared to deal with disaster); Collaborating on zoom with high school student interns from other countries. High School intern supervision is provided by Program Coordinator and Founder Eileen Klima, MA, LMFT in weekly zoom meetings. During 2022 the Ambassadors played a critical role in helping distribute coping materials to several disasters areas around the world.
