Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

89
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Aggression01:47

Aggression

28.0K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Parenting Styles01:27

Parenting Styles

122
Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

Family Therapy01:30

Family Therapy

119
Family therapy conceptualizes psychological challenges as arising from dysfunctional interactions within the family unit, rather than as isolated issues within individuals. This approach seeks to address and transform the patterns of communication, roles, and relationships within families to promote healthier dynamics and emotional well-being for all members.
Strategic Family Therapy
Strategic family therapy emphasizes resolving communication barriers and improving problem-solving abilities...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

104
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Behavior Modification01:21

Behavior Modification

222
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.
A real-world application of operant conditioning principles is applied...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Violence against children (VAC) poses significant long-term risks to individuals and societies globally.
  • Understanding the multifaceted drivers of VAC is crucial for effective prevention.
  • Existing violence prevention programs offer valuable insights into essential content and delivery strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on the drivers of VAC and evidence-based prevention program components.
  • To analyze Colombia's social infrastructure to inform the Apapacho parenting program design for families with young children.
  • To propose a framework for a scalable and flexible violence prevention program tailored to the Colombian context.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on VAC drivers and prevention program components.
  • Analysis of existing services and social infrastructure in Colombia.
  • Application of ecological, developmental, and neuroscience-informed perspectives for program design.

Main Results:

  • VAC in Colombia is a multidimensional issue influenced by individual, family, community, and societal factors.
  • Evidence-based prevention programs share core content and delivery strategies applicable to the Apapacho program.
  • There is a critical need for adaptable and scalable violence prevention programs for families with young children in Colombia.

Conclusions:

  • The Apapacho program will integrate ecological, developmental, and neuroscience principles.
  • The study outlines initial components of the theory of change for the Apapacho program.
  • Future directions emphasize the design of the Apapacho program and other interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
