Objective:Reflect and comment on the inclusion of religion, spirituality, and other sources of meaning-making (RSM) within the context of pediatric psychology training. Method:This invited commentary is the collective effort of a diverse workgroup of trainees from clinical and counseling psychology disciplines, who came together to reflect on our experiences with RSM in the training context and review related literature. A brief Qualtrics survey was utilized to gather background information about the authors for the positionality statement; no other analytic methods were employed. Results:RSM is an aspect of the human experience that must be considered in all realms of clinical work to ensure comprehensive and equitable care. Mental health providers are uniquely positioned to assess for and integrate RSM into all aspects of mental health care (e.g., assessment of presenting concerns, treatment planning, tailoring interventions). Spirituality and connectedness are psychologically grounded concepts that can be leveraged clinically to foster rapport and a sense of belonging, problem-solve collaboratively, and encourage meaningful behavior change by establishing and working toward goals and values. Despite the importance of considering RSM in clinical contexts, limited guidance, training, and coursework exists to facilitate the incorporation of RSM into clinical practice. Conclusion:Implementation of the outlined recommendations may be instrumental in mitigating the systemic challenges and barriers to incorporating RSM into clinical training and practice.Implications for Impact Statement This commentary emphasizes the importance of integrating religion, spirituality, and meaning-making into pediatric psychology training to provide comprehensive and equitable care. It recognizes that mental health providers are uniquely positioned to assess for and integrate these elements into their practice, which can strengthen the therapeutic relationship and promote coping and adjustment among patients and families. The article provides recommendations to overcome current challenges in including these vital aspects in clinical education and practice.

Objective:Social media is a large facet of contemporary culture, particularly for adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Likewise, digital health interventions have proliferated. Yet understanding of how social media can be leveraged to deliver empirically informed adherence interventions is more limited. This topical review provides a synthesis of literature related to improving AYA treatment adherence through social media approaches. To illustrate a clinical application, we describe an initiative that codeveloped and codisseminated adherence education with AYAs with cancer via TikTok. Methods:Literature searches were conducted on databases including PubMed and PsycINFO, using keywords such as adolescents or young adults; social media; and adherence, self-management, or health. Adherence TikTok videos were developed through user-centered design approaches with AYAs with cancer and clinicians/staff. Results:Results from the review suggested that AYAs use social media to research general health information and obtain support. Research-derived adherence-promotion interventions with social-media-like features appear to be acceptable, and some have led to improvements in adherence. Our process of translating empirically informed adherence education to TikTok was rapid and low cost and obtained 30,797 views. Conclusions:Social media has great promise for advancing the uptake and reach of evidence-based adherence care for AYAs. We highlight opportunities for advancing current clinical practices and future research in this area, including forming clinical partnerships with AYAs to disseminate credible adherence content via the social media platforms that are already part of their daily technology use.Implications for Impact Statement This topical review found that AYAs currently use social media for health purposes—with or without expert input—and adherence-promotion interventions that incorporate social media features have been acceptable to AYAs. We highlight the potential for and one application of leveraging commercial social media (e.g., TikTok) to deliver engaging and credible adherence information with substantial reach.
