YMCA Using Love Notes in Louisville to Reduce Relationship Violence

A Formative Evaluation of Mind Matters with Hispanic Adolescents Prior to and During Covid‑19

Youth living in poverty are more likely to experience cumulative stressors including multiple adverse childhood events. Further, the Covid-19 pandemic disproportionality affected Hispanic youth and communities, leading to unprecedented levels of trauma. This research responded to a need for a youth resiliency-building program in an urban and impoverished area with a majority Hispanic population. They conducted a formative evaluation of Mind Matters, which aims to help youth overcome adversity and to build resilience via psychoeducation and skill development.

For Valentine’s Day, Facts About Marriage and Dating in the U.S.

Longitudinal Follow-up in the National Survey of Teen Relationships and Intimate Violence

NEWS YOU CAN USE

For Gen Z, an Age-Old Question: Who Pays for Dates?

Young people tend to lean more liberal on a range of issues pertaining to relationship norms. But when it comes to dating, the idea that men should pay still prevails in heterosexual courtship.

The Impact of Social Media on Adolescent Development

A natural (and scary!) way for teens seeking answers to the age-old questions “Who am I?” and “Am I normal?” is to compare themselves to others. This can create pain and self-doubt in the real world. With social media, they’re comparing themselves to carefully crafted versions (fake!) of peers. Their stories aren’t real. They’re versions of who they wish to be. Filters make them look better than they do in real life. No wonder social media can make teens feel bad about themselves.

How Healthy Relationships can Change Businesses and the World for the Better

In a world where business is often about dividing and conquering, healthy relationships seem like an oasis in a desert of discord. Yet, precisely, these relationships are key to transforming our business landscape and, by extension, the world.

A Global Call for Adolescent Intimate Partner Violence Prevention

Intimate partner violence (IPV), broadly defined as behaviors within a current or previous romantic relation¬ship that cause physical, psychological, or sexual harm, begins early (age 15-19) in dating relationships. Find out key actions for preventing IPV and potential implementation pathways.

Strengthening Support for Adolescents and Young Adults in ACF Programs

The Administration for Children and Families is excited to announce the release of a new Dear Colleague Letter that provides information on youths’ unique developmental stage and suggests approaches and resources for incorporating practices into programs to meet their particular needs. This letter includes information on co-regulation practices, youth peer support, and authentically partnering with youth with lived experience, all of which further ACF’s goal to improve how we connect young adults to critical services that can support their path to success.

The Power of Relationship Education

from a Policy Perspective

Policymakers and policy analysts are increasingly turning to micro-level interventions to address large and widespread social issues. There is a growing recognition that what happens inside a home and family has broader social ramifications, which is turning policy conversations toward approaches that can strengthen couples and families.

Relationship Education has proven to be effective for improving outcomes in a variety of settings related to families. Because many of the issues that public policy seeks to address are affected by family instability and parental conflict, Relationship Education can act as a preventative measure that diminishes risk factors that originate in the home. Also, addressing a problem after it has taken hold is often more expensive than stopping it from happening in the present.

Join Dr. Jocelyn Wikle to learn how Relationship Education can be beneficial in diminishing serious and costly issues of divorce, children’s mental health, children’s academic outcomes, foster care, teen pregnancy, incarceration, and domestic violence.

This webinar will also provide suggestions for ways that federal and state policy could expand support for Relationship Education to address many social issues and the costs associated with them.

Objectives: Participants will be able to:

Communicate the economic – and human – value of supporting Relationship Education programs to reduce public costs and to improve the lives of people across the nation.
Use a research-based approach and data to demonstrate the effectiveness of Relationship Education to address policy issues.
Provide suggestions for how policy can better support Relationship Education.

Presenter: Jocelyn Wikle, Ph.D.; Assistant Professor of Family Studies in the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University

Who should attend: Federal, state, and local policy makers, youth and family serving non-profits who engage policy makers, state and local education agency policy makers, community-based organizations who seek new ways to communicate about Relationship Education, non-profit executives who wish to expand their reach and improve mission outcomes.

When: Wednesday, March 13 @ 1:00pm Pacific/4:00pm Eastern

Duration: 60 minutes

Cost: Free!

The initiative is designed to support researcher-practitioner partnerships and a broad range of research and evaluation methods, including qualitative, mixed-method, quasi-experimental, and experimental designs. Because OVW has limited funds to support research and evaluation, this initiative prioritizes topics for which a stronger evidence base would help OVW grantees use federal funds most effectively.
