A total of 478 students from 8 disciplines, including social work, participated in an interprofessional education (IPE) Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) project. A mixed methods evaluation measured student performance and perceptions of the potential impact of the training. Over 90% of student participants indicated that the IPE SBIRT experience laid the foundation for developing interprofessional collaborative care relationships and served as a cornerstone to help understand one’s respective role as a member of a health care team. Furthermore, students believed the training enhanced their overall educational experience and interprofessional care would lead to improved patient outcomes. (Edited publisher abstract)

The hospice interdisciplinary team (IDT) has been recognised as an ideal model for interprofessional collaboration. To address the manner in which interdisciplinary practices are perceived by team members, this study explored profession-based similarities and differences in perceptions among the four core hospice IDT members (physicians, nurses, social workers, and spiritual care providers) as well as experiences on the IDT. Semistructured interviews with 20 hospice professionals, 5 from each profession, were completed. Findings suggested that while hospice professions share some perceptions and experiences about hospice team membership, strengths of and barriers to teamwork, and individual members’ contribution to the team, significant profession-based differences exist largely in the area of hospice team membership beyond the core members, type of language and descriptions used, perceptions of causes and effects of barriers to teamwork, and understandings of how team effectiveness is evaluated. Changes at the team-based, organisational, policy, and educational levels are needed to further maximise strengths of individual hospice IDT member and team qualities. (Edited publisher abstract)

When a child experiences the death of a loved one, the loss can be confusing and painful. Each child responds to bereavement in his or her own unique manner. Bereavement can challenge a child’s still emerging repertoire of coping skills and alter the makeup of their family unit. Bereavement camps are one form of popular grief intervention for children. This article presents a review of the existing literature on child bereavement camps to investigate effectiveness of these camps. An initial database search led to 187 entries. Selection criteria employed resulted in a total of eight studies for an in-depth examination. While camps had differences in their lengths, camper acceptance, restrictions, and theoretical frameworks used; many shared similar camp goals and objectives, activities, and outcome measures. Emerging evidence shows camps are promising venues to help bereaved children develop and build resilience in dealing with loss. While bereavement camps can be a valuable resource to bereaved children and families. Camp organizers must recognise the importance of ongoing evaluation of interventions implemented so that the most effective outcomes may be achieved.

Co-occurring substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health disorders (MHD) are prevalent in the United States, affecting between 7 and 10 million adults. Social workers frequently practice in mental health and substance use disorder treatment settings where they are likely to encounter clients who have co-occurring disorders. Therefore, social workers should be familiar with the various etiological models of co-occurring disorders and the strengths and weaknesses of these models, in order to effectively assess and assist clients with co-occurring disorders. The purpose of this article is to describe and critique 4 different models of the etiology of co-occurring disorders: MHD leads to SUD - the self-medication model; SUD leads to MHD model; common factor model; and the combination model. The theory that social workers are most familiar with is the self-medication model, but this may not best explain the client's experience. While there is not definitive support for any of the models, each one seems to have its place in helping researchers and practitioners better understand co-occurring disorders. Implications for practice, policy, and research are discussed.
