THE LATEST

Does Cohabitation Compensate for Marriage Decline?

The rise in cohabitation coupled with the decline in marriage during young adulthood means young adults are still forming coresidential relationships. However, among young adults, cohabitation no longer offsets the decline in marriage because cohabitation has plateaued. The result has been that fewer women have formed unions.

Younger Parenting College Students More Likely to Feel Isolated, Contemplate Suicide

A new report explores the mental health needs of parenting students at undergraduate institutions across the country. Using a sample of nearly 45,000 parenting students, the report highlights concerning disparities in mental health outcomes for younger parenting students ages 18-24, indicating they are five times more likely than non-parenting students to report feeling worthless, twice as likely to report feeling left out or isolated, and twice as likely to have considered suicide in the past year. The report includes eight recommendations for postsecondary institutions to better support the mental health of student parents, with specific emphasis on programs and supports that target younger parenting students.

Ed. Note: Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience is well suited to address the mental wellbeing needs of student parents and all students.

Family Strengthening Research 2020

This report describes OPRE’s major research investments in areas of strengthening family during 2020. The report is organized into six different sections that show the breadth of the research, including:

Supporting Fatherhood
Strengthening Relationships
Nurturing Children Through Families
Supporting Positive Youth Development and Transitions to Adulthood
Preventing Family Violence

Less Poverty, Less Prison, More College: What Two Parents Mean For Black and White Children

It is no “myth” to point out that boys and girls are more likely to flourish today in America if they are raised in a stable, two-parent home. Consistent with a longstanding social scientific consensus about family structure, children are significantly more likely to avoid poverty and prison, and to graduate from college, if they are raised in an intact two-parent family. This association remains true for both black and white children.

How to Teach Consent Across the Curriculum

A significant part of making consent a cultural norm involves moving away from thinking of consent only in the context of health education. Of course, consent has to be central to health classes, particularly the sex education components, but if we want to move it from a subject to a paradigm, we need to expand its reach and the spaces we explore.

Rebuilding with Adolescents in Mind – Webinar Series

Whether returning to the classroom for the first time since early 2020, transitioning from hybrid back to a regular schedule, or returning to a routine with less disruption, this fall will be an inflection point for the adolescents in our communities. Tweens and teens have been deeply impacted, not just by the COVID pandemic, but by the racial reckonings across the nation. While many of our early efforts of support necessarily focused on younger kids, now is the time to turn our attention to and invest deeply in adolescents. Join the Readiness Projects, Center for the Developing Adolescent, and Youth-Nex for an expanded conversation on adolescents and the pandemic with education, community, medical, and wellness experts, as well as youth themselves.

Using Mindfulness Skills to Reduce Risk Factors

in Sexual Health

In these challenging times, many youth are dealing with isolation, anxiety, and depression and relationship challenges. Everyone is looking for a way to connect. Many wonder, how do we do this safely and in a healthy way?

We know that when we are unaware of what is happening with our bodies and brains, then we are more likely to make risky decisions. Providing information that youth will hear and use starts with providing mindfulness skills that help them to calm their brains, be in touch with what is going on in their bodies, and build resilience. These mindfulness skills are relevant, empowering, and easy to make a part of everyday life. When implemented, people find they are more likely to grow in social and emotional regulation, make more informed decisions, and see brighter futures.

Join Dixie Zittlow as we discuss how healthy decision-making is achievable by bringing awareness to what is happening with our bodies, brains, and emotions.

Objectives:

Webinar participants will be able to:

Understand the impact of mindfulness skills on the brain.
Practice mindfulness exercises that inform decision-making.
