The Social Context Of Adolescent Mental Health And Wellbeing
|
|
|
|
Many explanations on mental health difficulties in young people, ranging from peer pressure and bullying, to social media and gender inequality, have been offered for the rise in mental health problems. This study utilized data from the Millennium Cohort Study (Wave 6) to examine 14-year-olds’ mental health and wellbeing in relation to familial and peer interactions, gender, socio-economic factors and social media use.

University of Louisville researchers received funding from the Fatherhood Research & Practice Network to recruit the coparenting partners of responsible fatherhood participants. The intervention features an educational workshop and an opportunity to receive free mediation services.

| Can Technology Cultivate Relationships While Social Distancing?
|
|
|
|
| Across the United States and around the world, we are “sheltering in place,” learning how to do “social distancing,” and struggling with adjusting to changes or uncertainty in employment and juggling the responsibilities of caring for kids who are out of school at the same time. When we get beyond the technical, logistical, and financial challenges, we’re faced with another conundrum: How to cultivate developmental relationships when we can’t connect in person? We know we can learn and communicate virtually. But can we really nurture relationships virtually? |

| The True Hard Work of Love And Relationships
|
|
|
|
What if the first question we asked on a date were, “How are you crazy? I’m crazy like this”? Philosopher and writer Alain de Botton’s essay “Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person” was, amazingly, the most-read article in The New York Times in the news-drenched year of 2016. As people and as a culture, he says, we would be much saner and happier if we reexamined our very view of love. How might our relationships be different — and better — if we understood that the real work of love is not in the falling, but in what comes after?

| Building Developmental Relationships During the COVID-19 Crisis
|
|
|
|
Search Institute is providing a free checklist with 19 ways to connect with young people during this time. When young people experience developmental relationships with parents, educators, youth program staff, and other adults their outcomes are better, their risk behaviors are lower, and they are more likely to be on the path to thrive in life. Staff in schools and youth programs do not need to and should not stop seeking to build developmental relationships with young people while they are at home during the nation’s response to the COVID-19 crisis. |

| Tips for Staying Connected to Community Youth During the COVID-19 Pandemic
|
|
|
|
During the COVID-19 pandemic as communities are asked to take precautions including canceling meetings and events, adult mentors can still stay connected to the youth they serve. Caring adults who serve youth in any capacity whether it is through a community club, recreation center, church, etc. are a key protective factor for our youth. Protective factors help lower negative risks that youth may encounter such as stressful conditions, events, or circumstances (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2014). Community adult leaders can be advocates and resources to help protect the youth they serve. This document includes traditional and innovative methods to engage youth and maintain healthy relationships to prevent social isolation.

Family Environment Instability: How Early Childhood Shapes Social Maladjustments Over Time
Early family contexts can shape the trajectories of children’s adjustment throughout childhood. Families can provide a safe and stable base for children that is protective against adversity. However, when family environments are not stable (e.g., when parents/parent figures are moving in and out of the home), children may suffer.
Join Dr. Elizabeth Karberg of Child Trends, she explores how family instability in early childhood shapes children’s social (mal)adjustment over time.
Objectives:
Webinar attendees will learn:
- How families in America are changing and what are common contexts for children’s early family experiences.
- Whether instability in families is linked with children’s social outcomes.
- Why instability in families is linked with children’s social outcomes.
