This US study examines the perspectives of youths about their participation in CFTs. Their perceptions of feeling valued are juxtaposed against administrative data showing high CFT volume but low rates of children and youth in attendance. The youth self-reports may be a more accurate assessment of their cumulative rate of participation. A regression analysis found that CFT composition and concerns addressed were significant predictors of child and youth presence, and these findings point to the influence of the participants’ relationships and of the purpose of the meetings. For those young people given the opportunity to take part, CFT participation served as a restorative process in the aftermath of trauma and separation and reinforced a sense of mattering as individuals.}, booktitle={International perspectives and empirical findings on child participation: From social exclusion to child-inclusive policies}, publisher={Oxford: Oxford University Press}, author={Hall, J. and Pennell, J. and Rikard, R.V.}, editor={Gal, T. and Duramy, B.

Applying restorative practices in situations of family violence, however, may endanger the participants unless they are prepared for the deliberations and sufficient safeguards are in place. A starting place for engaging some men who abuse in restorative processes is through their role as fathers. ‘Strong Fathers’ was a group programme for men who had committed domestic violence and were referred by child welfare. The men who persevered with the programme were pulled by their desire to be close to their children and pushed by their sense of what it means to be a man and a father. The often painful process restored rather than punished the participants, and the results point to how to interface treatment programmes and restorative practices.}, number={2}, journal={RESTORATIVE JUSTICE-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL}, author={Pennell, Joan and Sanders, Tia and Rikard, R.

A potential solution is engaging men who abuse in assessing and managing their own risk to family members. This was the aim of a psycho-educational fathering program developed and tested in the southeastern United States. Over the course of the group, the men set goals on how to relate to their children and to their current or former partners, and they reflected on their achievement of these goals. The men's self-appraisals were supported by their caseworkers' assessments. A comparison of child protection data before and after entry in the group showed an extensive decrease in the families assessed with child protection findings and with household domestic violence. The evaluation used a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) that identified configurations of conditions overlapping with child protection outcomes. Some of the men's characteristics included in these configurations ran counter to predictors usually associated with child maltreatment and domestic violence. The evaluation results point to the unique contributions that QCA can make to risk assessment.}, journal={CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES REVIEW}, author={Pennell, Joan and Rikard, R.

Previous research suggests that low level of health literacy (HL) is an underlying factor to explain racial disparities in the prevalence and incidence of HIV/AIDS. The present research describes a community and university project to develop a culturally tailored HIV/AIDS HL toolkit in the African American community. Paulo Freire’s pedagogical philosophy and problem-posing methodology served as the guiding framework throughout the development process. Developing the HIV/AIDS HL toolkit occurred in a two-stage process. In Stage 1, a nonprofit organization and research team established a collaborative partnership to develop a culturally tailored HIV/AIDS HL toolkit. In Stage 2, African American community members participated in focus groups conducted as Freirian cultural circles to further refine the HIV/AIDS HL toolkit. In both stages, problem posing engaged participants’ knowledge, experiences, and concerns to evaluate a working draft toolkit. The discussion and implications highlight how Freire’s pedagogical philosophy and methodology enhances the development of culturally tailored health information.}, number={5}, journal={HEALTH PROMOTION PRACTICE}, author={Rikard, R.
