Méthodes d’évaluation des partenariats d’action intersectorielle visant à agir sur les déterminants sociaux de la santé : examen de la portée
Authors: Asirvatham Roshaany , Nelson Allison , Northam Jonathan , Lucyk Kelsey
Published: October 2024

Introduction

Bon nombre des facteurs sociaux et économiques qui conditionnent la santé d’une population et l’équité en matière de santé (comme le revenu, l’éducation et l’emploi) ne sont pas liés au secteur de la santé. L’action intersectorielle est essentielle à la formation de partenariats diversifiés qui visent à agir sur ces déterminants sociaux de la santé. Malgré le rôle important de l’action intersectorielle, on dispose de peu de rapports exhaustifs du secteur de la santé sur la manière dont ces partenariats sont évalués. Cet examen de la portée vise à fournir une vue d’ensemble d’exemples d’évaluations de partenariats d’action intersectorielle, portant sur les méthodes d’évaluation, les outils et les indicateurs.

Méthodologie

Une recherche documentaire menée dans deux bases de données universitaires (Embase et MEDLINE) a permis d’obtenir sept études pertinentes publiées entre 2012 et 2022.

Résultats

Les approches d’évaluation que nous avons observées ont été l’analyse de réseaux, l’analyse à l’échelle des collectivités ou des systèmes, l’évaluation des partenariats et l’évaluation longitudinale des processus. Cinq des études ont évalué la force et la fonctionnalité des partenariats, la portée (distance entre les partenaires) étant l’indicateur le plus fréquemment utilisé.

Conclusion

En dépit de la complexité à évaluer les partenariats d’action intersectorielle, ces évaluations sont essentielles pour mesurer les effets sur les résultats en matière de santé et les déterminants sociaux de la santé, sur l’atteinte des objectifs, sur la reddition de compte et sur la pérennité. Différents modèles d’évaluation sont à la disposition des planificateurs et des évaluateurs de programmes participant aux initiatives d’action intersectorielle.
The Dunedin Safer Schools Safer Communities Initiative: A Narrative Approach to Community Collaboration.
Authors: Dixon Glenda , Bretherton Maureen , Lynch Mark , Perkins Yvonne
Published: October 2024

Based In 1997, a number of community agencies in Dunedin came together to express their concern at the disproportionate number of young people coming to their attention suffering from the profound effects of bullying and harassment on their lives. These concerns developed further, and as a result the Dunedin Safer Schools Safer Communities (SSSC) initiative was born. Central to the working of the initiative were the ideas and practices of narrative therapy. Some interesting issues arose as we tried to maintain those ideas and practices in a collaborative context in the area of bullying/harassment in schools. The negotiation of the power relation proved to be the most difficult aspect of the work of the initiative.

Developing Restorative Practices in Schools: Some Reflections.
Authors: Drewery Wendy , Winslade John
Published: October 2024

The use of disciplinary practices derived from restorative justice has recently been gaining popularity and inciting keen interest in the education community. Practices that have so far been introduced have tended to centre on conferencing, although there is a broadening range of other practices in schools that are being brought under the heading "restorative". This paper offers some reflections on these developments, building on the experiences of a team at the University of Waikato, which completed two projects on restorative conferencing in schools for the Ministry of Education under the rubric of the Suspension Reduction Initiative, and continues to develop understanding of the practices. The projects included developing and trialling processes for suspension hearings using restorative conferencing and principles from restorative justice. Objectives of both projects were related to the desire to reduce numbers of suspensions and exclusions, particularly of Maori children. We argue that the introduction of restorative practices invites schools into some tectonic shifts in thinking about offending behaviour, about community, and ultimately about the purposes of education.

Counselling Services for Adults with an Intellectual Disability: Implications for Counseling.
Authors: Raffensperger Marilyn , Miller Judi
Published: October 2024

The counselling needs of adults with an intellectual disability are similar to those of other counselling clients. These adults, however, face a number of barriers that restrict their access to effective counselling. In this paper, we use an exploratory study to discover how counsellors, counsellor educators and support workers perceive these barriers. The findings are discussed in relation to existing literature and the implications they hold for counselling practice.

A Discursive Approach to the Registration Debate Working with Texts; Thinking Ethics.
Authors: Cornforth Sue
Published: October 2024

Counsellors are currently considering impending registration. This important decision is being made in the context of wider changes that also affect the profession: poststructural versions of subjectivity; potential environmental collapse and increasing regimes of accountability. This article takes a closer look at the registration debate with these concerns in mind. It applies a critical, Foucauldian, discursive approach to two relevant documents: the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCAA) and the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) Code of Ethics 2002 (the Code). Although these documents have different functions, both impinge upon counselling practice. A comparison foregrounds some ethical discrepancies and raises the question of whether registration under the Act is even possible without a significant rewrite of the NZAC Code. The article lays out some areas of divergence in the hope that they may be useful points of reference in future negotiations.

Guidance and Counselling in New Zealand Secondary Schools Exploring the Issues.
Authors: Crowe Ada
Published: October 2024

Guidance and counselling have been part of New Zealand secondary schools for over forty years. Initially the role of guidance counsellor was well-defined and deemed to be a specialist middle management position requiring appropriate training and support. Guidance counsellors provided a counselling service and were seen as leaders of guidance programmes and activities. Policy changes over the years have resulted in less emphasis and support for guidance in secondary schools, with a reduction of guidance and counselling time. These changes have impacted on the role and work of the guidance counsellor and on the effectiveness of guidance programmes. This article outlines the changes to guidance and counselling work within New Zealand schools, identifies the current issues being faced, and highlights the need for an external agency such as the Ministry of Education to establish national guidelines and standards for this work.

Life Coaching and Counselling Making Connections.
Authors: Skerten Brent , Chapman Linda
Published: October 2024

Our aim was to ascertain whether there were any unique aspects of life coaching which could inform counselling and how our counselling skills might inform any extension of our practice into coaching. We interviewed eight Christchurch life coach practitioners and researched available literature and material on the Internet. We discovered life coaching has close affinities with the forward-looking, goal-centred emphases of brief solution-focused counselling, with added emphasis on explicit psychoeducation and the client's motivation and practice of skills to bring about change. We note these emphases are already a strong aspect of many counsellors taking clients through specialist programmes. We highlight coaching's emphasis on giving advice and challenges, and how coaching practitioners counteract risks for highly distressed clients by emphasising negotiated boundaries of responsibility, transparency of process and ascertaining limits and appropriateness of approaches. We conclude that counselling and life coaching have much in common.

Cool/Manly? Boys Growing into Good and Gorgeous Men.
Authors: Gaddis Stephen
Published: October 2024

This paper invites counsellors to reflect on ideas about adolescent boys and their relationships with mothers and fathers. The paper responds to ideas circulating at present based on Celia Lashlie's book He'll Be OK: Growing Gorgeous Boys into Good Men (2005). The author raises cautions about general interpretations and conclusions based on what adolescent boys say and do in public contexts. In particular, the author reflects on the ways public contexts, gender categorisations and patriarchal masculinity influence adolescent boys' lives. The paper especially highlights how general interpretations and conclusions reproduce the same cultural stories that contribute to the problems in the lives of adolescent boys and those who love them.

Shaping Supervision Practice Through Research: Effects of Supervision for Counselling Practice.
Authors: Crocket Kathie , Gaddis Stephen , Day Caroline , Flintoff Vivianne , Lammers Marianne , Malcolm Pam , McLachlan Debbie , Overdyck Helga , Rewita Titihuia , Riche Val , Rodwell Jan , Schoffelmeer Ellie
Published: October 2024

That there are links between effective supervision and effective counselling practice tends to be taken for granted. As a contribution to documenting the professional knowledges and experiences that might stand behind the profession's claims for the benefits of supervision, this study interviewed experienced supervisors, seeking their perspectives on the links between effective supervision and effective counselling practice. Taking a social constructionist approach and showing the processes of knowledge production, researchers then engaged with these supervisors' perspectives, in a series of reflections. These reflections show how the research interviews contribute to shaping the researchers' ongoing supervision practice. Areas of interest include the power relation between supervisor and practitioner; responsibilities for monitoring practice; taping; supervisor responsibility for evaluating the effectiveness of supervision, and generativity of practice through storying a practitioner's values and principles. Questions are offered for readers, too, to engage in a shaping of practice through their own responses to the article.

Gender Discourse, Awareness, and Alternative Responses for Men in Everyday Living.
Authors: Gaddis Stephen , Kotzé Elmarie , Crocket Kathie
Published: October 2024

In this paper, the authors use examples from their experiences to explore the nuances and complexities of contemporary gender practices. They draw on discourse and positioning theories to identify the ways in which culturally dominant, and difficult to notice, gender constructions help shape everyday experiences. In addition, the authors share their view that there are benefits in developing skills in noticing contemporary practices made available by dominant gender constructions. Such noticing expands possibilities for ways of responding and relating that might produce outcomes for men and women that fit with their hopes for living.

Counselling Adolescents when "Spiritual Emergence" Becomes "Spiritual Emergency.".
Authors: Bray Peter
Published: October 2024

This article provides a rationale for a closer examination and recognition of unusual consciousness events in adolescence that have a specifically spiritual content of the kind described by Stan and Christina Grof as "spiritual emergency". A case vignette is discussed in the light of new understandings about how non-ordinary spiritual experiences in adolescence, triggered by loss and grief, can lead to self-actualising outcomes. This article will broadly discuss these experiences and suggest attitudes and strategic positions that counsellors can adopt to help them recognise spiritual emergence and spiritual emergency in their adolescent clients, and to encourage their disclosure and support [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of New Zealand Journal of Counselling is the property of New Zealand Association of Counsellors and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Childhood Exposure to Domestic Violence.
Authors: Chetty Meera , Agee Margaret
Published: October 2024

In this qualitative investigation, four young adults of Indian ethnicity reflected on their childhood experiences of exposure to domestic violence within their immigrant families, including the nature of their exposure, the effects it had on them, and their responses to their situations. Among the themes that emerged were their powerlessness as children, their lack of mothering, and the loneliness of their role as "the responsible one" in the family. An unexpected finding was the significant part played by school counsellors in enabling these resilient young people to develop their strengths and move forward in their lives with hope.

Hope in a Time of Global Despair.
Authors: Weingarten Kaethe
Published: October 2024

Hope may be the most laden shorthand term of all time. Everyone wants it; few know how to articulate what it is. I present a new conceptualisation of hope-- reasonable hope--that makes it easier for counsellors to sustain their own hopefulness when working with clients who have lost theirs. By subscribing to reasonable hope, clinicians enhance their ability to offer accompaniment and bear witness to clients. I suggest supports for counsellors who practise reasonable hope that make it more likely that one can engage in the co-creative process necessary to encourage doing reasonable hope.

Secular Science Meets Sacred Art.
Authors: Hepi Tangi , Denton Elizabeth
Published: October 2024

Tangi Hepi is an experienced and highly regarded drug and alcohol counsellor who brings to his practice his Māori roots and his Pākehā upbringing, as well as his clinical training and experience. As a result, he has developed a bi-cultural approach to counselling that is loosely framed by the conventions of the profession, but has been extended and given depth by the teaching he received from his paternal grandmother when he was a young boy. This article explores the counselling principles that underpin his practice, as well as some of the supporting techniques he has developed over the course of his counselling career. His background is described in some detail in order to locate him within both traditional Māori and contemporary Pākehā cultural contexts, although the discussion of his counselling work focuses on aspects drawn predominantly from his Māori cultural heritage. Questions raised in this discussion are an invitation for further exploration and study.

Co-authoring New Relationships at School through Narrative Mediation.
Authors: Williams Michael , Winslade John
Published: October 2024

The practice of narrative mediation is illustrated through a case study for its applicability to the resolution of conflict in a high school. Two boys who had been fighting are brought together by a New Zealand high school counsellor to address their differences. Fighting is externalised and the boys are invited into a relationship story based on their own knowledge of ways to resist fighting. The mediation disrupts the conflict narrative and develops a counter-story of harmonious relationship. This article illustrates narrative mediation in action and provides a commentary to make it understandable and replicable for school counsellors. As a straightforward case study, the article does not make substantial claims for this practice but seeks to inspire further applications of narrative mediation by school counsellors.

More than a Decade of Considerable Change.
Authors: Miller Judi H.
Published: October 2024

From tentative beginnings in 1974 to the current professionally produced publication, Counselling Today, the New Zealand Association of Counsellors Newsletter, has served as a public and accessible record of the Association's growth and development. In this paper, I extend an earlier interpretation of themes found in newsletters from 1974 through 1996 by analysing the content of newsletters from 1997 through 2009. Findings suggest that the key focus of the Association is professionalisation, and that this has created a perceived split between the aims of the executive and the rest of the membership. I encourage members to consider the historical development of their Association when they participate in debates about its future direction.

Research for Counselling Practice.
Authors: Waters Averill , Crocket Kathie
Published: October 2024

In many professional fields, including counselling and education, there have been significant efforts to bring practice and research closer together. However, for each situation and each new practice problem and responsive research question, there is bridging to be done. This paper takes the form of an autoethnographic essay: it tells a story of the first author's engagement in a small research project that offered opportunities to negotiate her way toward collaboration and respect as a researcher in her own community. As a school counsellor, she held concerns for the positioning of a small group of Pasifika students in the school. This research aimed to consider how the school might do better in serving the educational interests of these students and their families. The article focuses on the shaping effects of the research for the first author's professional and personal life. Its argument is that her experiences as researcher have profoundly shaped the counsellor it is possible for her to be.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Research in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Authors: Mapel Tim , Simpson Jillian
Published: October 2024

The popularity of mindfulness as a therapeutic approach is growing. International research has shown mindfulness to be an effective treatment for a wide range of physical and psychological conditions. Little research into mindfulness has been done in Aotearoa New Zealand. This report documents a locally conducted waitlist control study of the effectiveness of using Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with chronic health conditions. Twenty-nine participants completed the eight-week course in MBSR and the outcomes indicated significant improvements in their physical and psychological health and wellbeing as a result of the training. The qualitative data were thematically analysed and are reported here. Key elements of mindfulness meditation are discussed and comparisons made between the leading mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches. The application of mindfulness techniques and attitudes, and their relevance to counsellors, is considered.

Considering Counsellor Education in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Authors: Crocket Kathie , Flanagan Paul , Winslade John , Kotzé Elmarie
Published: October 2024

The registration environment offers particular challenges for the identity of counselling in 21st-century Aotearoa New Zealand. Counsellor education cannot hold itself apart from such challenges as it enters what the authors suggest is a third phase in its development (see Part 1, the companion to this article, earlier in this volume). Counselling in New Zealand has spent many years investigating and debating statutory regulation, and professional associations have implemented various internal regulatory practices that have had implications for counsellor education. Counselling and counsellor education in other parts of the world, and related professions in New Zealand, have engaged more actively with registration in a variety of forms. This article describes these various regulatory activities with the intention of making visible some possible directions for counsellor education in New Zealand. While we cannot predict with any accuracy what these possible directions would each offer to counselling, our review of various forms of registration leads us to make a case for pluralism and partnership. Advocating for pluralism in counselling, Cooper and McLeod (2010) suggest that it involves both sensibility and practice. The authors of the current article explore a pluralistic sensibility, emphasising its potential to produce a professional landscape in which practices of pluralism and partnership may emerge.

Counsellor Education in the Future.
Authors: Manthei Bob
Published: October 2024

This article, based on a paper presented at the Counsellor Education Conference, contributes to the discussion of counsellor registration by discussing the implications of three potential scenarios for the future of counselling in Aotearoa New Zealand. What eventuates depends on whether or not a pathway will be available for counsellors to become registered, what form this will take, and what effects will flow from this; or whether the current situation will continue with no formal registration process but with NZAC acting as a "certifying" body. The levels of counsellor education likely to be required are indicated, and the content areas that are likely to be mandated are outlined.

School Counsellors and the Key Competencies.
Authors: Hughes Colin , Burke Alison , Graham Judith , Crocket Kathie , Kotzé Elmarie
Published: October 2024

Education leaders maintain that the contemporary New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007) offers opportunities for lateral innovation as learning becomes a collective, whole-school endeavour. This article argues that school guidance counsellors are well positioned to weave themselves into possibilities for lateral innovation when the counselling room becomes a place where students explore, discover, develop, practise, and strengthen key competencies in the context of the concerns and difficulties that bring them to counselling. Indeed, the language of The New Zealand Curriculum, with its focus on values and key competencies alongside learning areas and learning for life, has much in common with the language of counselling. The structure of The New Zealand Curriculumin fact brings guidance counsellors to the heart of the core purpose of schools.

In the context of the debate about the state registration of counsellors in Aotearoa New Zealand, and drawing both on similar debates in the field of counselling in the United Kingdom and on the experience of psychotherapists in this country, this article first articulates a distinction between the terms recognition, regulation, and registration; second, it summarises a number of arguments against the statutory regulation of counselling and the state registration of counsellors; and third, with reference to the cultural, economic, professional, and philosophical context of counselling, it argues for a vision of counselling and counsellors independent of state control of the profession and of its professionals.

Fruits of the Fig Tree.
Authors: Hurst Nicola A. , Riley Tracy L.
Published: October 2024

Multipotentiality in gifted and talented adolescents refers to the fact that these individuals have numerous and diverse abilities and interests that can affect their career choices and decisionmaking. To help these younf people achieve their potential, a broad understanding of the nature and effects of multipotentiality is crucial, as is emotional support and advocacy from counsellors--with school guidance counsellors and careers counsellors ideally placed to assist. This article provides information and ideas from relevant academic literature and research to facilitate understanding of the associated concepts, and to introduce suggested interventions for use with multipotentialed gifted and talented young people. The principal findings from the review of literature suggest the usefulness of specifically targeted counselling that is underpinned by an understanding of the implications of multipotentiality; an holistic, values-based and lifespan approach to career planning; mentoring; experiential learning; and early intervention, coupled with long-term planning and broad academic study. It has also become clear that much more research is required, particularly from New Zealand viewpoints.

Key competencies or key incompetencies?
Authors: Wasson Katie
Published: October 2024

Hughes, Burke, Graham, Crocket, and Kotzé (2013) have claimed that school guidance counsellors' work "relates directly to the core mission of schools as expressed in the key competencies and values" (p. 14), namely for young people to experience psychological wellbeing as implied by the descriptors "confident and connected" envisioned for them by The New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007, p. 8). However, youth mental health research statistics reflect a psychopathological vocabulary that is used both by young people themselves to describe their own subjective/embodied experience and by others to describe young people. This disparity is explored in this article via a more problematised and politicised view of the key competencies as a conduit between our neoliberal sociopolitical context and that of compulsory education. While this view rethinks one of Hughes et al.'s claims, it augments another: the importance of school guidance counsellors' contribution lies not in how it complements the key competencies but in counselling work that makes visible, and thus revisable, the effects of key competencies' transfusion of neoliberalism's humanist ontology into young people's lives.

Secondary traumatic stress, burnout and the role of resilience in New Zealand counsellors.
Authors: Temitope Katrina M. , Williams Mei Wah M.
Published: October 2024

One hundred and twenty-nine New Zealand counsellors were surveyed in relation to secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion satisfaction, resilience, social support, degree of exposure to trauma, and personal history of trauma. Statistical analyses established the prevalence of secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction. The relationships between risk of secondary traumatic stress and exposure to others' trauma, personal trauma history, burnout, compassion satisfaction, resilience, and social support levels were explored. Results established a prevalence of 21.7% for high risk of secondary traumatic stress, 24.8% for high risk of burnout, and 21.7% for high potential for compassion satisfaction in this sample. Statistically significant relationships were found between exposure and secondary traumatic stress, between burnout and secondary traumatic stress, and between resilience and secondary traumatic stress. These results are discussed in relation to counsellors' secondary exposure to trauma when working with clients who have been traumatised.

Uncovering precariosity using a circle conversation with counselling practitioners.
Authors: Kecskemeti Maria , Hamilton Carol
Published: October 2024

Ethics approval was obtained to audio-record an adapted form of circle conversation involving a group of counselling practitioners who attended a professional development workshop in 2015. The goal of the study was to examine what emerges when participants open themselves, through structured conversations, to affecting and being affected by others. The participants chose to focus on their working conditions, and what emerged in these discussions became the focus of this paper. The participants' stories provide rich insight into how a group of practitioners have become caught up in precarious circumstances in their professional lives. This article includes four narrative accounts that derive from this guided conversation. Through the process, new lines of thought for consideration and new ways of analysing what action might make a difference to their current situations emerged. These are briefly summarised in two further narratives. The article ends with a call to all professionals to provide a critique of the implications of precariosity in their own work, and to begin to explore possibilities for developing new ways of being and doing within the constraints of an uncertain labour market.

Published: October 2024

Lifeline Aotearoa provides a 24/7 telephone counselling service for New Zealanders requiring immediate crisis counselling and support. The training for the helpline volunteers is called One Model Foundation Training, and in this study it was evaluated using Kirkpatrick's Four Levels evaluation model. The study showed that the trainees were satisfied with the effectiveness and the quality of the programme. The training was effective in improving the trainees' knowledge and awareness in helpline interventions. The evaluation also found that most trainees were able to apply their learning in practice, although a few difficulties were identified when working on the phones. Finally, no change was evident in any of the call centre Key Performance Indicators as a result of the training.
