The nature and extent of parent education and support programs targeting parents with children under five is reviewed. Several evaluated Australian and overseas programs are described, and their role and effectiveness in the prevention of child abuse and neglect are examined. The principles and values that underpin such programs are discussed, and their common components outlined. The New Parent Infant Network (NEWPIN) is then situated in the broader framework of effective parent education and support programs operating in Australia.

This article presents a study that stemmed from the author's personal struggle to help several students abroad suffering from mental illness (endogenous depression, anxiety disorder, borderline personality, paranoia, anorexia). At the time, little research had been written on the role of the resident director in relation to the mental health challenges students may experience while on overseas programs. Therefore, this article attempts to state the nature of these issues, examine current research, and present actual cases of study abroad students with whom the author worked on a variety of mental health concerns (their names and some details have been changed to protect their privacy). The hope of this article is to begin a line of inquiry that will help other professionals in the field come to terms with one of the growing challenges resident directors face working with U.S. undergraduates overseas.

Motivation And Learning

The present study explored whether two semester overseas study programs had any impact on participants’ language ability and motivation to study English. The language ability, L2 learning motivation and learning attitude of 65 Japanese university students participating in semester-long study abroad programs were measured pre departure and on their return. TOEIC listening and reading tests were used to measure students’ linguistic gains, and possible changes to students’ L2 motivation and attitudes were measured using a survey created specifically for the purpose of this study. Statistical analysis implied a significant effect from the two overseas programs on TOEIC scores and motivation and attitude, with motivational intensity prior to departure being a significant predictor of TOEIC gains. The findings underscore the idiosyncratic nature of studying abroad, and will be of use in designing and implementing post-overseas study programs.
