ABSTRACT Far too often African American boys are negatively portrayed in the media and are labeled as at-risk and violent. These labels impact perceptions within public schools. They also decrease self-efficacy, lower academic motivation, and lessen attachment to the school and community. We conceptualized a psychoeducational group for African American adolescent boys, Black Boys: Invisible to Visible (BBI2V), aimed at improving these areas. BBI2V presents a group counseling curriculum focused on three themes: making positive choices, speaking one's truth, and developing personal worth. A case illustration is provided to examine how a student may benefit from the BBI2V experience. Implications for practitioners are provided.

“黑人男孩：从隐形到可见”：一个为非裔美国男孩培养自我效能感、赋权和归属感的心理教育团体

摘要 非洲裔美国男孩经常被媒体负面描绘，并被贴上危险和暴力的标签。这些标签会影响公立学校的观念。他们还会降低自我效能感，降低学习动力，并减少对学校和社区的依恋。我们为非裔美国青春期男孩概念化了一个心理教育小组，即黑人男孩：隐形可见 (BBI2V)，旨在改善这些领域。BBI2V 提供了一个专注于三个主题的团体咨询课程：做出积极的选择、说实话和发展个人价值。提供了一个案例说明来检查学生如何从 BBI2V 体验中受益。提供了对从业者的启示。
