Title: Elementary school counsellors' perceptions of their role with families
Contributors: Jennifer Vivienne Martha Ritchie (author), Paul Madak (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Elementary school counsellors (ESC) play a crucial role in facilitating partnerships between family and school. lbis study explores ESCs' perceptions of their role with families. lbis qualitative, inductive research utilizes a descriptive/ exploratory approach. The participants were four ESCs, with backgrounds in teaching, and elementary school counselling, working in elementary schools within one school district in the Northern British Columbian public school system. Data were obtained using semi-structured interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and data analysis processes included: sorting, coding, categorizing, and memoing. The participants discussed a number of ways of working with families to promote the child's progress in school. A variety of role and family related challenges emerged from the participants' discussions. Strategies to address these challenges are explored. Findings from this study indicated that ESCs use consultation processes to work in partnership with families, and with the child, to support the child's positive academic and social development.

Title: Clinical perspectives on the integration of mainstream mental health approaches and traditional aboriginal healing practices.
Contributors: Marcela Rojas (author), Joanna Pierce (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: The purpose of my thesis was to describe the perspectives of child and youth mental health clinicians on the integration of mainstream mental health approaches and traditional Aboriginal healing practices. Research participants consisted of four clinicians currently employed by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, who have delivered services in the Northern region of British Columbia within the last twelve months. The literature review examined a variety of topic related areas, including: Cultural Safety Research Considerations Aboriginal Mental Health Mainstream Mental Health Approaches Traditional Aboriginal Healing Practices Integrated Mental Health Approaches and Considerations for Rural Practice. I applied a qualitative research approach, guided by the tenets of a constructivist lens. The process of examining my research findings involved the application of a Thematic Analysis approach. My research findings support the need for future research that would expand the scope and applicability of findings. These findings suggest that clinicians see the value of integrated approaches in both their practice and in outcomes for their clients. In addition, findings suggest that clinicians perceive the limitations of mainstream approaches as potential barriers to the efficacy of therapeutic interventions. Implications related to the field of social work include the institution of organizational specific cultural safety training and shifts towards more flexible and collaboratively based service delivery structures. --Leaf i.

Title: UNBC clinic of care: clinic manual and marketing plan
Contributors: Jeffrey Ryan James (author), Linda O'Neill (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: The purpose of this project was to develop two documents that will become the framework for the proposed establishment of a clinic of counselling that would meet the training needs of graduate students in the University of Northern British Columbia's (UNBC) Masters of Education, Counselling Specialization program, and the needs of community members of Prince George. The two documents include a marketing plan for the implementation of the proposed clinic and a manual for the operation of the clinic. The clinic manual is a document that forms the foundation on which to build a safe, ethical, professional, and organized clinic through detailed clinic policies and procedures. This manual is comprehensive enough to give people all the required information needed to run the clinic. The marketing plan provides those who work on implementation a framework for how to deliver competent services, address financial needs, raise funds, and do risk assessment.

Title: Becoming an ally
Contributors: Kara Brigden (author), Tammy Pearson (thesis advisor), Joanna Pierce (committee member), Kulraj Bhandari (committee member), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Colonization – both historical and contemporary – has resulted in poor overall health status and other negative impacts for Indigenous people in Canada. To avoid further assimilation and colonization, non-Indigenous practitioners must become effective allies with Indigenous individuals and communities and work collaboratively to develop service approaches that are more culturally focused. My practicum with Carrier Sekani Family Services provided me with numerous opportunities such as observing and facilitating individual and group counselling sessions and participating in Carrier cultural and spiritual activities. My two main learning goals were to become an effective ally within Indigenous communities and learn to integrate traditional Indigenous healing approaches and Western clinical interventions into my own professional practice. This report discusses my practicum experiences and expresses how I will incorporate my learning into my future practice. My report also addresses complex issues such as appropriate boundaries, regular self-care, and vicarious trauma followed by recommendations.

Title: Discussion of ethical issues for counsellors as related to mandated reporting of child abuse
Contributors: Annabelle June Roang (author), Colleen Haney (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Society progressively alters its attitude towards children and their welfare. Therefore, expectations of parents are reviewed and changed. So to it is with child abuse. Social welfare is guided by the prevailing social beliefs, theories, and knowledge which shape political initiatives legislating the ground work and practices which frame child welfare responses to child abuse. Child abuse consists of neglect, physical and sexual abuse. This study contends that counsellor's decision around reporting suspected child abuse is influenced by a variety of factors. The defining factors of child abuse and related ethical issues for Counselling Professionals will be examined. Most child abuse occurs within the family, therefore, I will focus in this area. As professionals are mandated to respond to child abuse, this paper will speak to different issues in terms of social work and issues related to reporting child abuse to Child Protection Services. In this paper, I will use the descriptors 'counsellor' and 'therapist' inter-changeably.

Title: Complex trauma in adolescents: a graphic novel
Contributors: Tammy Harriet Stoneman (author), Andrew Kitchenham (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: The purpose of this project was to develop a graphic novel geared towards the adolescent population. The first part of this project includes a literature review that explores key concepts that include complex trauma and brain development and the negative impact complex trauma has on learning. In reviewing the quality of the project, two groups participated in the review process a group of educators and a group of adolescents. The first group was asked to review the project and provide feedback that would assist in strengthening the content. The second group participated in a discussion that revolved around complex trauma and the importance of addressing such a sensitive topic among adolescents. Topics addressed include addictions issues, verbal and sexual abuse, and complex trauma. The guiding ideology of the project is that adolescents will be equipped with the tools necessary to recognize complex trauma and what supports are available for survivors of complex trauma. --Leaf i.

Title: Wild epiphany: Turning youth care inside out.
Contributors: Christopher M. Gee (author), Si Transken (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Using phenomenology as a framework for analysis, and drawing on Abraham Maslow's concept of peak experience, this thesis reveals the unique power of a moment in the wilderness. Within this paper are emotionally charged recollections of epiphany as experienced by individuals who, as youth, were mandated to attend a wilderness based residential attendance program. These recollected experiences are compared and contrasted to observations, of similar moments, made by counselors who have facilitated extended excursions into the wilderness. This qualitative study has been conducted in collaboration with graduates of Caribou Action Training Society's Camp Trapping and past and present wilderness counselors. The commentaries of the participants resonate with implications for therapeutic intervention. Characterizations of wilderness, conceptualizations of dependency and masculinity, and suggestions of improved mental well-being figure prominently in the recollections of the participants. --P.2.

Title: Counselling: the working relationship between clergy and social workers in northern British Columbia
Contributors: Lacy Chabot (author), Indrani Margolin (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: This study explores relationships between social work counsellors and clergy members in Prince George, British Columbia, specific to their provision of counselling services. A qualitative research design was implemented, incorporating interviews with social workers, pastoral clergy, and chaplains. Study findings reveal that participants share a counselling context incorporating facets of location, social capital, and practice concerns. Social workers and clergy in this study note that they have counselling practices in common particularly the way that they govern their practice and develop relationships with their clients. Some main distinctions emerged as counsellor roles were explored. This study unveils the reality of the relationships occurring across discipline boundaries and delves into the barriers and benefits that influence these relationships. --Leaf ii.

Title: An exploration of the health concepts, peer-helping behaviours and attitudes of street-involved youth
Contributors: Tracy Yvonne Dolan (author), Martha MacLeod (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Health concepts, peer-helping behaviours and the role of the peer network in passing health information was explored among street-involved youth in a city in northern British Columbia. Perceptions of 21 youth were gathered through interviews and/or focus group discussions. Data were analyzed using content analysis and were viewed through the lens of the health belief and health promotion models. Results indicate that street-involved youth form peer groups and that these peer groups provide some positive support but also reinforce some unhealthy behaviours. The youth provide one another with some information related to their health and are able to provide guidance as to who would prove to be effective peer health counsellors. Youths' descriptions of what it means to be healthy depict mainly physical states of health and convey that the youth either have not incorporated a broad or holistic sense of health into their health concepts or are simply unable to express it. Exceptions to this limited view of health are among older youth who have had exposure to counselling. The Health Promotion Model was useful in explaining links between the health concept of street involved youth and its implications for the development of effective peer programs. The Health Belief Model was useful in calling attention to some of the perceived barriers to health action that could be minimized through an effective peer program. Implications for further research into factors underlying variations in health concepts and peer-helping behaviour in street-involved youth are discussed.

Title: Discovering a relationship: adolescents' insights into the counselling relationship in a secondary school setting
Contributors: W. Douglas Thomson (author), Tom Strong (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: This study was designed to explore, with five grade twelve students, their understandings of the counselling relationships they shared with their counsellors in a single northern B.C. secondary school setting. The investigation was guided by four questions: (1) What conditions make it possible for the students to talk to a school counsellor? (2) What conditions give students the confidence to share private and confidential information with their counsellor? (3) What are the critical incidents during their counselling which affected the development of the counselling relationship? (4) What were the characteristic elements that constituted the counselling relationship between a school counsellor and a student client? Participants were identified by their school counsellors based on the following criteria: (1) the students were grade twelve students, (2) they were familiar with the counselling programme in their school, (3) they had developed a personal counselling relationship with the students, ( 4) the students could articulate their understandings of those relationships, and (5) they had not had a counselling relationship with the researcher. A series of open ended, in-depth interviews were conducted with the students. Grounded Theory method was used to analyse the data that was transcribed from these interviews. A conceptual model of the counselling relationship was developed consisting of five stages: the Motivating Stage, the Initiating Stage, the Comfort Stage, the Working Alliance Stage, and the Change Stage. Each stage was further divided into Key Categories and Subsidiary Categories that provided insights into conditions that fostered the development of the counselling relationship in the secondary school setting. The search for comfort in the counselling relationship was a constant theme throughout all stages and was identified as the core concept of the model. Several implications for practice were identified and included: ( 1) the centrality of the personal counselling relationship to the school counsellor's role, (2) the conflict between supervisory roles and the development of a personal counselling relationship, (3) the advantages of a multifaceted role for school counsellors, (4) the role of counselling as an arena of comfort, (5) the importance of giving students a role in the design of counselling services, (6) the importance of a professional friendship in the counselling relationship, and (7) the importance of clearly articulated professional identities for school counsellors.

Title: Fatty fatty two-by-four, can't get through the bathroom door: a feminist analysis of the discourse on fat and the strategies used to challenge fatphobia
Contributors: Suzanne Louise Tepperman (author), Julia Emberley (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Within our society, size is used as a measuring stick to determine which bodies . are deemed acceptable and which are unacceptable. Fatter people have come to fill the space of the unacceptable. However, because of pressures to conform, both thinner and fatter people are oppressed by this condition. Young people need tools to be able to critique the messages that the medical profession, mass media, their family, and their peers are sending them; and within this thesis, a language is needed to theoretically explore the politics of size. To solve the first problem, I engaged in group interviews, using a semistructured interview format to help me determine how youth interpret societal messages about fat. I used the information from these interviews to develop a workshop that is designed to help youth develop positive body image. It is my contention that if young people can grow up being comfortable in their bodies, regardless of size, than society's fatphobic tendency will wither away. To solve the second problem, the theories developed by Michel Foucault in Discipline & Punish: The Birth of the Prison and The History of Sexuality: An Introduction, Volume One are used as a springboard to examine fatphobia, weight-loss discourse and strategies of resistance. From Discipline & Punish, Foucault's thoughts on Benthan's Panopticon, systems of normalisation, and methods of disipline are explored. From The History of Sexuality, this thesis examines Foucault's four categories of discourse (the hysterical woman, the masturbating child, the Malthusian couple, and the Perverse Adult) that he offers to demonstrate that sex was not repressed during the Victorian era. In turn, four categories of discourse (the anorexic woman, the chubby child, the health conscious couple, and the obese adult) are offered to both draw attention to the existence of weight-loss discourse in society and to demonstrate that these categories of discourse, which have been created to help people lose weight, are in fact contributing to more people getting fatter. This thesis also looks at the role that the Fat Liberation Movement has played in recent history. Over the last 30 years, those involved in this movement have been steadily working towards ending fat oppression. From The History of Sexuality, Foucault's notion of reverse discourse is taken as a point of departure to highlight the various strategies that have been used by participants in the Fat Liberation Movement to subvert fatphobic dogma. Though society still exhibits fatphobic tendencies after 30 years of activism, it is not indicative of failure on the part of those participating in the Fat Liberation Movement. The fact that this thesis focuses on fatphobia serves to illustrate that progress is being made. The strategies adopted by these activists are being used to create a new definition of fat: one that eliminates the negative stigma.

Title: Educational counselling and the cool imperative: an integrative-interpretive review
Contributors: J. Richard Bryan (author), Bryan Hartman (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: The behaviour of adolescents in our society often results in unhealthy or dangerous consequences. Professional practitioners often are ineffective in guiding our youngsters toward positive and healthy behavioural choices because they attempt to address the problem behaviours themselves, rather than the processes through which teens are motivated to make such behavioural choices. Previous research has defined "teenagerhood" as a discrete cultural stage through which many teens pass, and has suggested that their behavioural choices are often motivated by perceptions of "coolness", defined as social attractiveness. This thesis advances these notions, further suggesting they comprise a viable foundation on which to develop further research and practice in our school system, particularly with respect to preventing problems among teens. Written from the stance of an integrative-interpretive review, this paper attempts to bridge the gap between research and practice through developing an ecological overview of teenagerhood and middle-level education. This study examines a wide variety of academic and popular literature pertaining to the culture of coolness, and middle school practice. This paper draws five broad and interrelated conclusions: (a) that there is a need for innovative and appropriate research methods for integrating research and practice in education, particularly concerning ecologically complex issues such as teenagerhood, coolness, and risky behavour; (b) that the problem of youth at risk is both real and serious; (c) that many youngsters need to be cool, and adults working with young adolescents need to understand, respect, and work with that knowledge; (d) that the function and structure of schools must accommodate youngsters' real characteristics, needs, and the contextual imperatives of teenagerhood and coolness; and (e) that the roles and practices of professionals in schools must fit youngsters' real characteristics, needs, and the contextual imperatives of teenager hood and coolness.

Title: Journey through the wilds: An autoethnography of the Camp Trapping experience.
Contributors: Alain Huggett (author), Si Transken (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Using an autoethnographic method the author explores key issues in his experience working at Camp Trapping, a wilderness based group care programme for male young offenders situated in central British Columbia. Personal experiences, as well as interview quotes from staff members and adult graduates of the programme, are used to highlight social, political and practice aspects of working in such a setting. Key concepts reflected upon are the presence or absence of continual compassionate care, factors associated with youth crime, masculinity, wilderness programming, group care settings, and the punitive turn in social welfare and corrections approaches in Canada. These concepts are looked at in a broad social context as well as how programme delivery is affected on a personal level. The author asserts that Camp Trapping provides marginalized youth a unique experience that encourages pro-social personal development. The Camp Trapping experience also contributes to the author's personal and professional development. --P. ii.

Title: A manual of best practice for counsellors working with adolescents who self-injure
Contributors: Judith Polysou (author), Corinne Koehn (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Self-injury (SI) is the intentional harm of oneself in order to manage emotions and provide relief from unbearable stress. Methods of self-injury include cutting, burning, hitting, and hair pulling. Many counsellors are working with adolescent self-injurers but are struggling with how best to provide therapy. The role of counsellors may vary, depending on whether they are school or community-based. This project present a manual focusing on adolescent self-injurers and the psychotherapeutic treatment. The manual presents and interprets information that is difficult for practicing counsellors to access into a succinct document. Topics addressed are the nature of adolescent self-injuring behavior, risk factors associated with SI, strategies for working with self-injurers within the public school system, assessment of the adolescent self-injuring client, and therapeutic treatment. Working with adolescent self-injurers is a challenging undertaking and this manual offers information and strategies to aid the counselor in providing appropriate client care.

Title: Writing on the web: online technology and the writers' workshop in the junior secondary classroom
Contributors: Elizabeth McInerney Woods (author), Judith Lapadat (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Schools are places where students are required to perform writing acts and submit written products. A writers' workshop (WW) is one method used in schools to encourage students to write. Most would include the peer conference, the time for a student to talk about her/his writing, face-to-face, in various stages, one to one or in small groups of three to four peers. Graves (1983, 1985, 1991, 1995, 1996), Calkins (1986), and Atwell (1987) gave encouraging descriptions of their WW classrooms. Others have illuminated some of the challenges (DiPardo and Freedman, 1998; Lensmire, 1992, 1994; Morse, 1994; Rouse, 1988; Zemelman and Daniels, 1988). In particular, implementation of the peer conference has been problematic. Issues of teacher control are forefront and reinforced by the need to maintain a safe and productive classroom environment. Unlike the traditional teacher-talk dominated classroom, the peer conference creates less closely supervised opportunities for students to speak. In this restructured learning environment, the immediate peer culture becomes an important concern. The teacher cannot be sure that the classroom is a safe place for every student to share her/his work with peers (Lensmire, 1992). Despite these realities, constructivist theory stresses the importance of context and encourages active participation of students through talk and writing (Schaafsma, 1996; Doolittle, 1999; Schallert, Dodson, Benton, Reed, Amador, Lissi, Coward & Fleeman,1999). Online technology opens a new range of alternatives, and several features seem applicable to the problem of safety in the peer conference. Tornow (1997) and Bonk, Malik:owski, Angeli, and Supplee (1998) described the use of the online conference in a university setting. These authors defended the benefits of learning in a social context. Bonk et. al. (1998) saw web-based conferencing as "an electronic apprenticeship," an application of Vygotsky's negotiation of meaning within students' zone of proximal development. Three of Bakhtin's (1981) key perceptions are embodied in the WW: Through writing, the individual is able to to develop a dialogic awareness of his/her own place in the community (Brandist, 1997; Lensmire, 1994). Student stories are utterances in context, socio-linguistic narratives with an intertextual nature (Schallert et. al., 1999). However, with the reduction of autocratic control, the peer conference, like Bakhtin's carnival, has the potential to open the darker underbelly of the adolescent nature, and further serves as a caution to maintain a safe classroom environment. As researcher, I had a dual role as the teacher of the classroom under study. My goals were: ( 1) to create an online learning environment for the peer conference; (2) to peruse the peer responses to monitor class climate; (3) to assess the value of the peer conference; ( 4) to obtain students' evaluations of the online conference experience; and (5) to assess the value of the peer conference as indicated by revisions made between the draft and final copy of one piece of narrative writing. In collaboration with the project leader at the university computer center, we adapted a Weber site to meet our purposes. WebCT is a multi-dimensional communication tool developed at the University of British Columbia. A course construction template within this technology accommodated all of the functions necessary to establish the online peer conference. The main findings of this study were: ( 1) WebCT provided an appropriate online learning environment for the peer conference. In both the survey and class meeting data students confirmed that the online conference was a valuable way to construct meaning. One student commented, the assignment "gave us a thought process, not just a writing one." (2) Although one student received negative response to his story, for the vast majority of peer responses, safe environment was not a concern. However, the quality of peer responses was raised as an issue. (3) On the survey, of 22 participants, 17 students somewhat or strongly agreed that they would recommend the online conference for other students. At the last class meeting, of 18 participants present, 16 voted yes, they would like to do this project again. (4) On the survey, 18 somewhat or strongly agreed that they liked anonymous response. During class meeting discussion, students favored the use of a code name and suggested possible improvements: numbers versus names, assigned names, number only, no name and no number. Anonymous response allowed response to the writing and not to the writer, or the writer's place in the social hierarchy. (5) The concern for improved quality of peer response was reinforced as I found evidence of insufficient revision made between the draft and final copies of these narratives.

Title: Counselling Aboriginal peoples: A thematic study of counselling experiences.
Contributors: Lauren Sevigny (author), Glen Schmidt (Thesis advisor), University of Northern British Columbia (Degree granting institution)
Abstract: Aboriginal people in Canada have experienced the effects of colonization, oppression, and marginalization. The Federal Government of Canada has formally apologized for the policy of residential schools. Aboriginal people who attended the schools are entitled to compensation and counselling. This research focused on Aboriginal people who attended counselling with a non-Aboriginal counsellor. The research aimed to understand how the counselling process was beneficial and how it might be improved. Following the recruitment and interviews of nine participants, four themes emerged, which revealed the different aspects of counselling experiences. Theme one examined the benefits of the counselling process, themes two and three identified motivation and level of comfort as playing roles in the counselling process, while theme four identified external factors affecting counselling. Overall, this thesis provides insight into the counselling experience of nine Aboriginal participants who received counselling from non-Aboriginal counsellors. Suggestions for improvements and future research are outlined. --Leaf ii.
