The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a group counseling program for parents of gifted children on their attitudes towards their children's education and personal development. The study used an experimental design, which is a quantitative research method. The research was designed using a pretest-posttest matched control group structure, and the study group was selected through random sampling. The study involved a randomized, controlled experiment with sessions focused on different themes such as communication, resilience, academic motivation, and career planning. The Psycho-Education Program for the Attitudes of Parents of Gifted Students was implemented to address these themes. A total of 40 parents of gifted students participated in the study, with 20 parents assigned to the experimental group and 20 parents assigned to the control group. The Parental Attitude Scale was administered to both groups before and after the counseling sessions to collect data. The results of the study showed that the experimental group had higher scores on the Acceptance/Interest and Psychological Autonomy dimensions of the Parental Attitude Scale after completing the counseling program, while their scores on the Supervision dimension decreased. This suggests that the counseling program led to a reduction in parental authority over their children. Overall, the study highlights the potential benefits of group counseling programs for parents of gifted children in promoting positive attitudes towards their children's education and development.

The Effects of a Brief Mindfulness-based Group Counseling Program on the Resilience and Maladaptive Self-focused Attention of Adults

Randomized evaluation of a school-based, trauma-informed group intervention for young women in Chicago.

This study explores whether a school-based group counseling program for adolescent girls, implemented at scale, can mitigate trauma-related mental health harms. In a randomized trial involving 3749 Chicago public high school girls, we find that participating in the program for 4 months induces a 22% reduction in posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms and find significant decreases in anxiety and depression. Results surpass widely accepted cost-effectiveness thresholds, with estimated cost-utility well below $150,000 per quality adjusted life year. We find suggestive evidence that effects persist and may even increase over time. Our results provide the first efficacy trial of such a program specifically designed for girls, conducted in America's third largest city. These findings suggest the promise of school-based programs to mitigate trauma-related harms.
