Research in children's mental health lags behind research for
adults in part because it is intrinsically context-bound. Children
are embedded in families, in schools, and in communities who have
responsibility for their care. Making research findings useful and
ensuring that they are applied to improve the lives of children and
families requires attention to these contexts. This entails a
process of collaboration with many partners-teachers, nurses,
healthcare providers, church leaders, neighborhood group directors,
and other community leaders. The process of collaboration in
children's mental health is complicated but the products that it
yields have the potential to benefit both children and families.
This volume, with the toolkit and casebook that it contains,
distills the process of collaboration into manageable steps, and
provides concrete examples of how researchers have addressed
specific challenges. The premise of the book is that collaborative
research, in contrast to traditional research paradigms, will yield
findings that are more ethical, valid, and useful. Highlighting the
transformation of science from ivory-tower theories to
action-oriented practices, the editors offer practical advice for
researchers and practitioners interested in using data to inform
and transform children's mental health. Concrete examples of
projects that have involved community leaders and researchers
provide an insider's guide to conducting successful collaborations
that can yield better results than traditional top-down research
paradigms.
Never again will I be that little girl who dreamed of a pack to sweep
her off her feet...
I'm the omega who killed my alpha.
The day I found my mates, I thought I'd found my home at last. Instead,
I was kept from them and left to suffer. For months I clung to scraps
of information, and I fell in love with each of them… Angel, Kai,
Caspian and Bane.
But when my worst nightmare came, I faced it alone.
Found beside my alphas body, my pack has claimed me at last. But
they're too late. Now I’m trapped in their home with them. My mates.
But there’s no happily ever after, because it won’t matter to them if I
had a choice or not. The man I killed was their pack brother, and they
hate me for what I've done.
And it’s up to these four men to decide my fate...
