This chapter reviews culturally sensitive approaches to developing evidence-based prevention programs and introduces a two-dimensional framework to incorporating culture into prevention that takes into account knowledge base and effort orientation. We highlight the importance of collaborative preventive efforts between researchers, practitioners, and communities, and provide a detailed description of cultural adaptation and cultural grounding as two collaborative approaches. The chapter concludes with a review of empirical support for culturally sensitive interventions and implementation challenges to culturally sensitive evidence-based prevention programs.
AN ANCIENT DARK CURSE deprives powerful, haunted Queen Rejeena of daughters to heir and further her lineage. Her cousin, Ishtabarra, plots to betray and kill her, in order to ascend to the throne. DOMINEERING WOMEN rule the island of Kriiscon, and hold men as slaves. The men battle to destroy the enforced servitude. FATE PLUNGES A MAINLAND MAN, Aarvan, into the turmoil of armed conflicts fueled by hatred and injustice. He awakens from a blow to the head with no memory, claimed as queen’s man, Rejeena’s love slave. CONFLICTS ERUPT between Rejeena and her slave, Aarvan. He is repelled and infuriated by the way of life on Kriiscon. Seized and bound by a potent, exotic attraction, they ride a searing tidal wave of lust. As conflicts boil, and passion deepens, can they build an affinity to endure the intrigues swirling about them? CAN AARVAN SAVE THE queen when she, ignoring his warnings of danger stalking her, travels into Ishtabarra’s realm? ONLY BY RELYING UPON each other, their wits and courage, can Rejeena and Aarvan survive.
Hollowed is a brave, searingly honest memoir that gives a face and a voice to an all-too-real, all-too-common, and often, all-too-silenced trauma. It is a powerful story of hurt, healing, and, ultimately, hope. The hollowing begins at the tender age of 19 when she enlists in the United States Air Force. Her time in the military will bring disbelief, outrage, and agony as you read about her experiences, which have shaken her core beliefs and distorted her views of trust and fairness. With each turning of the page, you'll learn of the significant steps taken to discredit and conceal the tragic rape and wrongful discharge. Travel along to uncover the strength necessary to confront the giant bureaucracy of the VA. This inspirational memoir is filled with reflections for insights to grow and adapt to all the challenges life has to dish out. For an additional journey on a ride that leaves her physically and soulfully hollow, you'll want to read the book, "Hollowed" – An Amazing True Story of a Woman Who Endured the Hollowing of Her Spirit, Body, and Soul.
