The current article presents a model of a summer and after-school psychoeducational intervention for children ages 4 to 11 and parents offered at an African American church. The IMPPACT program may be best described as a community-based program that applies salient dimensions of African American religiosity and cultural values to the cultivation of resilience and self-efficacy outcomes among African American families (McCreary et. al., 2009). It is a University-Church partnership involved in improving educational outcomes. IMPPACT teaches children how to recognize their own competence and ability to handle stressful situations at home, school, and in the community. Participants learn the merits of good behavior and the benefits of positive role models, which produce positive outcomes in school behaviors, such as peer relationships, attention, and conflict management. Conclusions and recommendations were provided in order to show how to best utilize available resources to ensure service provision to groups that are underserved.
