The Dynamic Adaptation of the Journey of Hope: A School-Based Intervention to Support Pandemic and Disaster-Affected Children and Youth
Tara Powell; Greta Wetzel; Jodi Berger Cardoso
Children & Schools, v46 n4 p233-243 2024
The Journey of Hope (JoH) is an evidence-based behavioral health prevention intervention model designed for disaster-affected children and youth. While the in-person JoH model has been extensively delivered and studied, the virtual implementation of this intervention, specifically tailored for the unique needs of children and youth during the COVID-19 pandemic, has not been previously explored. In this context, authors of this article adapted the JoH to a virtual delivery model, aiming to provide access to behavioral health preventive services for children and youth during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person services were not feasible. This adaptation, utilizing the dynamic adaptation process (DAP) and community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles, was carefully designed to meet pandemic-related challenges while maintaining the core components of the original intervention. The primary objectives of this article are twofold: (1) to provide an overview of the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the JoH-C19, including the framework that guided the adaptation, and (2) to describe the virtually adapted curriculum and initial pilot of the JoH-C19. This adaptation represents a crucial step in ensuring the accessibility of virtual behavioral health interventions for young populations facing various collective traumas and challenges in a rapidly evolving world.
