  Understanding and Responding to Suicidality in the School Setting

  Christopher Gostelow, Scott Poland, Stephanie Guedji, and Yaël Seth

  This handbook addresses the current state and practice of school psychology with a focus on standards unique to Australia, including historical, legal, ethical, practical, and training factors. It provides a compilation of the most current research-based practices as well as guidelines for evidence-based assessment and intervention for common conditions (e.g., autism, depression, learning disabilities) and for delivering appropriate services to targeted student populations (e.g., LGBT, gifted, medical issues). Chapters discuss the application of national and international school psychology practices within the Australian educational and psychological structure. The handbook also examines the lack of formal resources specific to Australia’s culture and psychology systems, with its unique mix of metropolitan cities and the vast geographic landscape that spans regional and remote areas. It offers numerous case studies and innovative school mental health programs as well as recommendations for professional development and advocacy that are unique to Australian school psychology.

  Anesthetizing Open Wounds: Substance Addiction in Male Survivors of Sexual Victimization

  Scott M. Hyman and Steven N. Gold

  Healing Sexually Betrayed Men and Boys: Treatment for Sexual Abuse, Assault, and Trauma is the new authoritative source for treatment of sexually victimized men and boys. Male victims and survivors of sexual trauma lived in shadow until the turn of the 21st century, when scandal after scandal about the sexual abuse of boys and men shed light on their suffering. These men and boys require different treatment roadmaps than their female counterparts. Yet there is little in the professional literature to help a clinician work with sexually traumatized boys and men.

  Family and Social Development

  Melanie M. Iarussi

  Midlife (ages 30 to 60) is generally a time in which partnership, children, and aging parents are of focus. Many individuals enter into partnerships, including those formally recognized through marriage or civil unions, in their 20s, and continue this developmental task in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. In 2014, the average age for a woman to have her first child was 26 (Mathews & Hamilton, 2016), resulting in midlife being largely focused on raising children. Finally, when individuals are in midlife, their parents are older adults who may be experiencing declining health and functioning, often requiring support from adult children. For people who identify as LGBTQ, each of these developmental tasks require unique considerations, including specific challenges and strengths. In this article, common developmental tasks of midlife related to family and social factors will be detailed, followed by information about the possible challenges encountered as LGBTQ persons pursue these milestones. Possible strengths possessed by members of these communities as related to midlife developmental tasks are also described. Intersectionality is then discussed in regard to members of LGBTQ communities and family issues. Finally, considerations for counseling will be described.

  Montana's CAST-S: Crisis Action School Toolkit on Suicide 2017

  Scott Poland and D. S. Poland

  The Montana Crisis Action School Toolkit on Suicide (Montana CAST-S 2017) was developed in a collaboration between the Big Sky Council and NAMI Montana to support Montana school communities in meeting requirements of Montana state legislative statutes HB381 (2017) and HB374 (2015). The goal in the creation of CAST-S was to support each school district and their communities to have access to much needed resources in developing their own protocols and crisis plan for preventing and addressing youth suicides. The CAST-S is a free resource for all Montana school leaders and staff. The Risk Monitoring Tool in the CAST-S is from the book, Suicide in Schools, by Erbacher, Singer and Poland which is an excellent resource for schools. Mental health and suicide prevention leaders from across Montana have been interviewed and have provided input in this suicide prevention toolkit, which is based on best practices in suicide prevention for schools.
