Running head: JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW 1 Week 4 Journal Article Review Tiffany Lewis CNDV_5322 Lamar University Spring 2024

JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW 2 Journal Article Review This week, our assignment prompted us to explore a topic relevant to recent chapters, and the article "School Response to Self-Injury: Concerns of Mental Health Staff and Parents" resonated with me, particularly in the context of counseling children and upholding confidentiality laws and ethics. Six years ago, I began working as a behavior interventionist in my current district, a role often seen as a stepping stone for entering this district. During my time there, I was deeply affected by the number of students engaging in self-injury, with many seeking help in the nurse's office on a weekly basis. It was concerning to see these students using objects found at school to harm themselves. SECTION ONE In reading the article "School Response to Self-Injury: Concerns of Mental Health Staff and Parents," I learned several important things. Firstly, the article highlighted the prevalence of self-injury among students and the challenges faced by schools in responding to this issue. Secondly, it discussed the differing perspectives of mental health staff and parents regarding the most effective strategies for addressing self-injury. Lastly, the article emphasized the need for collaboration between schools, mental health professionals, and parents to develop comprehensive and supportive responses to self-injury. The article discusses a study that aimed to understand the perspectives of schools, students, and parents regarding non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents. The researchers surveyed staff, students, and parents to identify issues related to NSSI and to bridge the gap between these perspectives. The study highlighted the lack of appropriate guidelines for

JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW 3 addressing NSSI and raised questions about when it is appropriate to inform parents about such behaviors if they are not already aware. In our textbook, Chapter 11 addresses children at risk of harm, stating that if a counselor determines a child is at risk of harm to themselves or others, they must inform the child's parents. I am pleased to see this topic gaining recognition, as there is a clear need for intervention regarding self-injury among adolescents. However, I believe there should be more effective initiatives, including increased education for teachers, students, and staff on the topic, as well as improved communication between the school and parents when NSSI is suspected. There is a delicate balance for counselors in determining whether a student's intent is serious enough to breach confidentiality and inform parents, as discussed by Remley & Herlihy (2020). Dr. Sadik's advice from a lecture, to "think the worst and hope for the best" (Sadik, 2020), resonates with me. When it comes to the safety of my students or clients, I prioritize caution over complacency. The importance of this information cannot be overstated. Self-injury is a serious mental health concern that requires sensitive and informed responses from schools. By understanding the perspectives of mental health staff and parents, schools can develop more effective strategies for supporting students who self-injure. Additionally, collaboration between all stakeholders is crucial for ensuring that students receive the necessary support and resources to address their underlying issues. SECTION TWO If I had the opportunity to ask the author(s) questions, I would inquire about the specific challenges faced by schools in responding to self-injury. Understanding these challenges would

JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW 4 provide valuable insights into the barriers that schools encounter in addressing this issue effectively. I would also ask about the role of education and training for school staff in recognizing and responding to self-injury. Finally, I would inquire about strategies for fostering collaboration between schools, mental health professionals, and parents in supporting students who self-injure. These questions are important because they delve deeper into the practical aspects of responding to self-injury in schools. By gaining insights into the specific challenges and strategies involved, schools can develop more targeted and effective approaches to supporting students who self-injure. SECTION 3 Three things that could have been done differently in the article include: 1. More In-depth Case Studies: The article could have benefited from including more detailed case studies of schools that have successfully responded to self-injury. This would provide practical examples of effective strategies and highlight the outcomes of these approaches. 2. Broader Perspectives: While the article discussed the perspectives of mental health staff and parents, it could have included perspectives from students themselves. Hearing directly from students who self-injure would provide valuable insights into their experiences and needs. 3. Practical Recommendations: The article could have included more practical recommendations for schools looking to improve their responses to self-injury. Specific strategies, resources, and training programs could have been outlined to help schools implement effective approaches.

JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW 5 Overall, the article provides valuable insights into the challenges of responding to self- injury in schools. By incorporating more diverse perspectives and practical recommendations, future articles on this topic could further enhance our understanding and response to this important issue.
