ndltd-OhioLink-oai-etd.ohiolink.edu-muhonors11111540812021-08-03T05:41:59Z Behavior Management at a Summer Camp for Homeless Youth Brown, Stephanie Children who are homeless are at-risk for developing emotional and behavioral problems due to many risks including persistent residential instability and few social supports. Families experiencing homelessness may have a difficult time accessing mental health services. Schools are a possible environment for providing programs that address mental health prevention and intervention with this population. Token economies and self-management are two possible intervention programs. This paper examines predictive factors for children presenting with the most immediate need for mental health intervention and prevention and the possibility of self-management as such an intervention strategy. Results showed that children who earned less rewards in a token economy system were rated as functioning lower than children who earned more rewards Children who are older were also rated as functioning lower than younger children. Self-management was found to be a possible successful intervention strategy for school-based programs in the future. Future programs should also examine the self-management program in more depth and should identify the children that present with the most immediate need for intervention using the above-mentioned predictors. 2003 English text Miami University Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=muhonors1111154081 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=muhonors1111154081 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
