UGA Leads Study of Family Legislationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Implications for Children of Color by Laurie Anderson

Researchers to analyze implementation of the Family First Prevention Services Act

multi-institution study led by a University of Georgia researcher is looking at how new federal legislation may help children of color stay out of foster care. Among other things, the study will identify the unintended consequences of the legislation related to inequities.

School of Social Work Professor Harold Briggs, the Pauline M. Berger Professor in Family and Child Welfare, leads the study. Funded by the William T. Grant Foundation, it will examine how state and tribal child welfare agencies and stakeholders envision implementing the Title IV-E Prevention Services Plans afforded through the Family First Prevention Services Act (Family First). The plans, which vary by agency, cover delivery of evidence-based, in-home services such as programs to build parenting skills and address mental health and substance use, with the goal of strengthening families and

keeping children from coming into foster care. A new, flexible funding option provided by the Title IV-E program under Family First helps finance the plans. The Title IV-E program is a major source of financial support for child welfare systems across the country. Until Family First was enacted, the program paid only for costs related to foster care and adoption.

report by the Children’s Bureau at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found African Americans represented in foster care at 1.8 times their rate in the general population, and Native Americans at 2.8 times the general population. Studies indicate they also are less likely to receive inhome prevention services, even when their needs mirror those of children who are white.

However, how children of color and their families will fare under the legislation is unknown. Briggs and colleagues at UGA, Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies and the Child Welfare League of America will scrutinize the approved plans over the next year and interview key agency staff and stakeholders to see how the legislation supports or hinders agency and stakeholder efforts to reduce inequities in the system. Their findings will help identify potential areas for modifications to Family First to improve outcomes for minorities.

“Family First is an innovative approach to keep candidates for foster care at home with a parent or caregiver by making evidence-based, trauma-informed prevention services more accessible,” said Briggs. “We are concerned about whether it can make a positive contribution towards reducing inequalities for families and children of color involved with child welfare.”

“When the study is completed, we will have a greater understanding of whether and how the initial group of states and tribes with approved prevention plans are ensuring that children of color who are at the greatest risk for entering foster care have more opportunities to flourish at home,” said Briggs. “It will also describe the potential unintended consequences of this new legislation.” The foster care system contains a disproportionate number of children who are from racial minority populations, particularly African American and Native American. A 2016

The researchers will look at whether the prevention plans focus on families and children of color, and if the approved, evidence-based services included in the plan have been tested with populations of color, said Briggs.

The study will include 11 state and five tribal child welfare agencies that are implementing plans approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Services Act is allowing those jurisdictions that take advantage of it to reduce inequality in youth outcomes – and whether such patterns can be documented.”

“We are excited to obtain a portrait of the plans and to learn more about how adoption of Family First may reduce inequality for some of our most vulnerable children through prevention services that allow children to stay with their families and thrive,” said Adam Gamoran, president of the William T. Grant Foundation.

Student Perceptions of Sexual Assault Depend on Who is Involved by David Terraso, MSW â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;22

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

We all think we know what sexual assault is, but do we? Sure, we can describe it, but can we spot it if it’s happening around us? Can we acknowledge when it’s happening to us by someone we know, maybe even by someone we’re in a relationship with?

2019-2020 RESEARCH REVIEW

f we can’t recognize sexual assault when it’s front and center, how are we going to stop it when it starts? How can we help survivors heal? In two studies this year, Adrienne Baldwin-White, assistant professor at the School of Social Work, found student perceptions of sexual assault depended a lot on the relationship of the people involved. “A lot of students believed that if two people were in a relationship, even if they had non-consensual sex, it wasn’t sexual assault because of the relationship,” she said. “They could recognize when one partner was manipulating or coercing the other, but they didn’t think it was sexual assault, which begs the question, what is it then?” To get a complete picture of students’ perceptions, Baldwin-White conducted two studies at a large university

in the American southwest. One was qualitative, appearing in Social Work; the other was quantitative and published in Sexuality & Culture. In both, she found the students understood they are more likely to be assaulted by someone they know, but they’re still more afraid of being attacked by a stranger. While more research will be needed to understand why this schism in recognition exists, Baldwin-White said she thinks a defense mechanism might explain it. “You’re in college. You’re exploring relationships. You’re exploring friendships. If you’re afraid of the people you know, then you’re probably not likely to explore those relationships,” she said. This dissonance, she said, allows one to feel safe, even in situations where you may not necessarily be safe.”

Recognition

“Shame is a feeling that’s hard to fully grasp for anyone because we all feel it in our bodies differently. And so it almost feels like an embarrassment, or like you’ve done something wrong,” added Mary Dulong, LCSW, MSW ‘16, who oversees the group therapy sessions for survivors and their families at The Cottage. She references author and research professor Brenè Brown, PhD, LMSW, who describes it this way: guilt is “I made a mistake;” shame is “I am a mistake.” Trauma can also be a factor, said Dulong. “We store trauma in our bodies differently.” This can also play a role in how the survivor negotiates the assault both during and afterward. In his book, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, Bessel van der Kolk wrote “It’s hard enough to face the suffering that has been inflicted by others, but deep down many traumatized people are even more haunted by the shame they feel about what they did or did not do under the circumstances. They despise themselves for how terrified, dependent, excited, or enraged they felt.”

Rebecca Pearson

“A person’s individual acknowledgment or realization that they’re a survivor of sexual assault is a journey, ” said Sally Kimel-Sheppard, LCSW, MSW ‘03, executive director of The Cottage, a sexual assault and children’s advocacy center in Athens, Georgia. “Everybody’s different as to where they’re at and which primary emotion they grab on to when they first come to us. It might be denial. It might be rage. It might be shock. There’s always a piece of guilt, self-blame, and shame involved.”

Mary DuLong, LCSW, MSW ‘13 The Cottage Groups Coordinator and Therapist

Both shame and trauma play a substantial role in how survivors come to terms with their assault or don’t. Culture matters “It’s hard to acknowledge trauma, period,” said Baldwin-White. “This is not a stranger pulling me into a dark alley. This is somebody I know and trust. They wouldn’t do this.” They also can feel it’s a reflection on them, she said. “‘I have really bad judgment,’ they think. ‘I can’t even recognize when someone that I know could hurt me.’” In her studies, Baldwin-White found that people of color, especially women, were more likely than others to recognize sexual coercion when it occurs in a relationship, a finding consistent with previous studies. She explains this perceptual difference as empathy in action. “If you are part of a marginalized and oppressed group, you can recognize how biases manifest.” Because students of color have experienced others’ problematic

2019-2020 RESEARCH REVIEW

beliefs, they are more likely to recognize and try to combat these beliefs in themselves.

The reactions serve as models for acceptable behavior, even when it results in trauma.

A person’s cultural training has such a strong influence that it can override conscious concerns or safety instincts.

“This information on consent and body safety should be talked about in child care, in preschool,” said Dulong. “There’s a huge systemic problem with normalizing sexual violence.”

“They know what consent looks like intellectually, but when it comes to how they act in relationships, there’s something keeping them from acting on what they know, and I think it pertains to racism and sexism,” said Baldwin-White. Cultural expectations about having sex, she said, such as when they should have sex, how often they should have sex, the beliefs that women should be compliant and that men should want and pursue sex all the time, can help to determine how students act and react in the moment. Other research has shown that when a woman of color is involved, people are less likely to intervene to stop a sexual assault, to perceive the victim as a victim, and have less empathy afterward. These cultural expectations all have something in common: behind them lies the idea that sexual assault is sex. “It’s not,” said Baldwin-White. “It’s violence. It’s a violent act, a crime— and I think if we were to reframe it this way culturally, it might make it easier for us to talk about it.” And perhaps to recognize non-consensual sex as assault. Changing the culture around assault Adults develop their beliefs about social conduct as children—often unconsciously—when they observe how others react to various situations.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

The Cottage provides children in elementary, middle, and high schools with information about healthy relationships, respect for oneself and others, consent, warning signs of abuse, emotions, and emotion regulation, but it’s not enough for people to get these values from school, Dulong said. They need to get them at home too, whether from parents, or someone else in the family or outside the family. Social workers can play a significant role in this as well, said BaldwinWhite. In the article in Social Work, she wrote that social workers must be ready to help survivors accept, acknowledge, and cope with a range of emotions, including anger and denial, after understanding that their experience of non-consensual sex was an act of violence. Survivors may have difficulty finding social support if they know the perpetrator. Social workers can help them find and receive that support. A center like The Cottage also can help survivors be part of a community that is caring, empathetic, and compassionate. Every person should be taught to understand the difference between consensual and non-consensual sex, between “yes” and “I’m not sure,” “I don’t think

so,” or “no,” no matter the gender, sexual identity, racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic background. “I’m proud of every survivor,” said Dulong. It would be a fitting tribute to every one of them if, when this research is replicated 10, 20 years in the future, the findings were completely different, if they showed that students understood sexual violence, no matter what the relationship between the parties was. It would be fitting if it were a rare, almost unheard of occurrence on a college campus.

by Y. Joon Choi, PhD Doctoral Program Director

ver the past 30 years, the UGA Social Work PhD Program has produced more than 160 social justice-minded researchers and social work educators who train future social work professionals to engage in antioppressive social work practice. It makes me very proud when our graduates and students praise the characteristics of our program. They recognize that we have a diverse faculty and student body, a balanced culture of rigor and support, and a nurturing and outstanding faculty. Our strength is our people. Faculty, staff, students, and alumni all make a positive difference in the quality of our

program. The education and support we provide our students positively impacts their contributions to social work research and education. Some of our graduates are deans and directors of other social work programs, some are renowned social work scholars, and some are leaders in public and private organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control, Veterans Affairs, and the World Health Organization. This tradition continues. Our current students are growing into scholars of excellence, engaging in research that addresses persistent and emerging inequities.

EDWIN RISLER, PROFESSOR EMERITUS BSW ‘77, MSW ‘82, PhD ‘98

1998

Since receiving my doctorate from the SSW, I am thankful to have had a number of significant opportunities to engage in projects that have impacted communities in Georgia and abroad. Appointed by the Governor of Georgia, I served on the Board of Juvenile Justice for over ten years advocating for incarcerated youth to be afforded a quality education. My degree also enabled me to develop relationships internationally with members of Non-Governmental Agencies and participate in collaborative research and community development projects addressing poverty in Haiti. At its core, the UGA PhD Program provided me with the fundamental skills and inspiration to conduct important research and produce scholarship, which ultimately contributed to the social work body of knowledge.

2007

Getting my PhD from UGA’s SSW has proved to have a profound impact on my career. It has expanded my knowledge base and my reach in providing services for Georgia citizens experiencing homelessness. Since graduating I have led CaringWorks, the nonprofit organization that I founded, to expand its offerings of housing and case management to now include a comprehensive range of behavioral and psychiatric health services. This has improved access and quality of care for thousands of indigent Georgians. JAEGOO LEE, PHD ‘12 Associate Professor, Jackson State University

2012

I decided to attend the doctoral program because I was interested in Dr. Betsy Vonk’s research in transracial adoption and the program’s focus on both research and teaching. I had multiple opportunities present at national research conferences, and built the teaching skills I use everyday. After graduating, I was hired as an Assistant Professor in the School of Social Work (SSW) at Jackson State University (JSU). There, I provide guidance, motivation, emotional support, and role modeling to my students, and engage in research on the quality of life of transracial adoptive parents and children. My experiences in the doctoral program made me a strong scholar, researcher, and educator. My professors at UGA cared about their doctoral students; now I care about my students at JSU.

2013

I received my PhD as a mid-career public health professional with social work training. Public health is multi-disciplinary, but never so much as during a pandemic! The deep understanding of research methods guided me as an early leader of data and surveillance efforts in the CDC COVID response. And social work’s focus on societal conditions and their effects on individuals and families gives me tools to lead my organization in addressing health inequities in COVID and other infectious diseases. The skills and knowledge I gained at UGA are critical to my success in CDC leadership, and I’m proud to bring social work concepts to bear on public health nationally and globally. ABHA RAI PHD ’20

Assistant Professor, School of Social Work, Loyola University Chicago

2020

The PhD program at UGA prepared me to further my passion for social justice, by teaching me the skills to be driven by community-centered research. Recently I have been working on projects concerning the increase in domestic violence as a result of the pandemic and more specifically on understanding the impact of the pandemic on immigrant communities. Learning from the best teachers who taught me, I am inspired to educate my students with the same patience and zeal. I now incorporate the same technique in my class where I meet each student where they are at and support them. Now and for the time to come, I will always be thankful to my UGA family who still have a piece of my heart. I will eternally cherish my time spent in Athens.

For example, dissertation research conducted by five students on the job market this year includes exploring community-based solutions to deteriorating social cohesion and environmental injustice (Joel Izlar), examining the influence of race and income on academic achievement gap of low-income, African American children (Megan Lee), understanding experiences of Black social work practitioners and racial microaggressions (Shena Leverett Brown), adapting Reflective Structural Dialogue (RSD), which is a dialogue model for building bridges between polarized groups, for use in digital contexts (Katherine Gower), and testing the impact of technology on the aging-in-place process (George Mois). These research studies are all so timely and will make big impacts on tackling the many critical issues we face.

We do our best to support our students, but we cannot do it alone. In some cases very promising young scholars face financial hurdles that slow their progress. I hope readers will consider investing in the future of social work research by contributing to the School of Social Work Doctoral Assistantship Fund, which enables our students to complete their studies and present their work among their peers.

“There were so few people with PhD’s in social work, and there was a need for more people to teach and conduct research necessary for the field to maximize its potential. UGA had so many well qualified faculty to guide dissertations, it seemed like a perfect fit for the next level.” y to b Pho

“I study aging, aging with disability, technology acceptance, telepresence, and human-robot interaction. I examine how older adults function effectively to age-in-place, and how technology may play a role in successful aging. I apply this knowledge to the design, evaluation, and implementation of assistive technology and robots in home and healthcare contexts.” JO URNAL ART I CL E S Beer, J. M., Smith, K.

Gifts in Action One commitment at a time, you are making the world a better place.

Our alumni and friends are elevating the School of Social Work’s research enterprise in ways not seen in the school’s 50+ years.

t the 2016 launch of UGA’s Commit to Georgia Campaign, we committed to raising more than $1.9 million by 2020 and answering the call to solve our world’s grand challenges by turning innovative ideas into impact. We not only completed the goal we surpassed it thanks to alumni and friends like you.

Your gift of $1,500 or more annually expands our capacity to drive social well-being with innovative solutions and re-imagine what it means to be a social worker. Above all, your investment works collectively with others to enrich lives—transforming generosity into real, tangible benefits for all the communities we serve.

Although the goal has been met and lives have been transformed, our students are still facing hardships during this pandemic. The need is still very real and your gift will make a meaningful difference in a student’s life.

To renew your support, or to make your first-time gift, please go to https://gail.uga. edu/commit and make a donation to the School of Social Work.

Our commitment keeps our school at the forefront of connecting social work scholarship and nonprofit leadership to the world’s multifaceted challenges. It enables us to compete for and retain top faculty, practitioners and policymakers who are profoundly influential and actively engaged within the academy and beyond.

As always, thank you for demonstrating your commitment to the UGA School of Social Work, its faculty and students, and the countless lives impacted by your philanthropy.
