Resources for Supporting Healthy Relationships in Fatherhood Programs

Fathers’ relationships—especially their relationships with coparents and romantic partners—can affect their own well-being and the quality of their involvement with their children. Using lessons from the Coparenting and Healthy Relationship and Marriage Education for Dads (CHaRMED) study, Child Trends’ new brief identifies common barriers that fatherhood programs face when addressing healthy relationships with fathers and provides strategies to help programs better support fathers in three main areas:

Engaging fathers in romantic relationship content
Improving fathers’ coparenting relationships through coparent engagement
Supporting fathers who are navigating legal and social system involvement

Child Well-Being in Single-Parent Families

We know that all young people — including kids in single-parent families — flourish when they have caring, committed relationships with parents or other loving caregivers. We also know the importance of safe, stable homes, communities and families that have adequate socioeconomic resources, social supports and services. Focusing on quality-of-life experiences and ensuring equitable access to opportunities can help young people reach their full potential.

Teens, Social Media, and Technology

The landscape of social media is ever-changing, especially among teens who often are on the leading edge of this space. A new Pew Research Center survey of American teenagers ages 13 to 17 finds TikTok has rocketed in popularity since its North American debut several years ago and now is a top social media platform for teens. Some 67% of teens say they ever use TikTok, with 16% of all teens saying they use it almost constantly. Meanwhile, the share of teens who say they use Facebook, a dominant social media platform among teens in the Center’s 2014-15 survey, has plummeted from 71% then to 32% today.

Protecting Children From The Pandemic’s Impacts Requires Support for Parents

It is amazing to see how many children manage to survive, recover, and even thrive after tumultuous events unfold around them. Typically, in the background, there are people connected to these children – usually parents and teachers – who are holding it together amid chaos and trauma to buffer children in their care from the dangers that surround them. Buffering children does not mean shielding them from all stress. But it does mean keeping stress manageable. Children need to learn how to handle stress, setbacks, and failure, as well as what to do when they become overwhelmed.

Relationship Weight Gain in Real – And Can Be a Sign of Happiness

Many people report that coupling up eventually means sizing up their clothes: “It’s a very familiar and intuitive idea that a good relationship should make us better in every way and help preserve our health and well-being,” said Sarah A. Novak, an associate professor of psychology at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., who has researched relationship weight gain. “It’s counterintuitive that there could be an exception to that, depending on how you think about weight.” Yet studies indicate that putting on pounds while in a relationship is a common phenomenon. Here’s a look at what the research has found, plus tips on how to address it.

Advancing Equity in Adolescent Health through Evidence-Based Teen Pregnancy Prevention

Estimated Post Date: December 1, 2022

The Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program is a national, evidence-based program that funds diverse organizations working to reach adolescents to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes and promote positive youth development. The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) anticipates FY2023 funds being available to support cooperative agreements for organizations to advance health equity for adolescents, their family, and communities through the replication and scaling of medically accurate and age appropriate evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs that have been proven effective through rigorous evaluation to reduce teenage pregnancy, behavioral risk factors underlying teenage pregnancy, or other associated risk factors. Anticipated funds will be used to serve communities and populations with the greatest needs and facing significant disparities to advance equity in adolescent health through the replication of evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs and services.

Teen Pregnancy Prevention Tier 2 Rigorous Evaluation Cooperative Agreements

Estimated Post Date: December 15, 2022
The purpose of the TPP Tier 2 Rigorous Evaluation Cooperative Agreements is to fund rigorous impact and implementation evaluation of promising approaches for preventing teen pregnancy and related risk behaviors. Through the awards, OPA aims to address the changing needs of youth and communities by increasing the number of programs available that are proven to reduce teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and behavioral risk factors underlying teen pregnancy, and to disseminate those interventions that demonstrate effectiveness. OPA is especially interested in funding rigorous evaluations of promising interventions in populations and settings with great need and those that demonstrate significant health disparities, such as, but not limited to, interventions in juvenile justice or foster care/child welfare settings, with expectant and parenting youth, youth with disabilities, with homeless youth, or for caregivers.
