Is There a Female Brain and A Male Brain? Science Says No

How Your Childhood Affects Your Marriage

The State of Relationships, Marriages, And Living Alone in the US

Are more Americans in love than in the past? The Census Bureau doesn’t track that, but it does keep tabs on American relationships. These days, Americans are now less likely to be married and more likely to live alone. When people do marry, they’re doing it later in life than in the past. While a higher percentage of Americans are divorced, a lower percentage are widows. And more than half a million same-sex couples are now married, which wasn’t an option for people in the 1950s.

How Many Friends Do You Really Need?

If your goal is simply to mitigate the harmful impact loneliness can have on your health, what matters most is having at least one important person in your life — whether that’s a partner, a parent, a friend or someone else, said Jeffrey Hall, a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas. “Going from zero to one is where we get the most bang for your buck, so to speak,” Dr. Hall said. “But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel bonded and connected to others, more friends are better.”

To Prevent Mass Shootings, Do A Forensic ACES Investigation

Using motive to prevent mass shootings will just get you a useless answer to the wrong question. The right question is: What happened to this person? What happened to a beautiful baby boy to turn him into an 18-year-old killer? Research clearly shows that the road that leads from a precious infant becoming an abused or neglected child who grows up to become a distressed murderer is predictable.

What does Consent Look Like?

It is important to understand what Consent means. Consent in a sexual context means actively and freely agreeing to engage sexually with another person. It lets someone know that sex is wanted. Sexual activity without Consent is rape or sexual assault. Use this tool to determine when Consent is established.

Nine Tips for Talking with Kids About Trauma

As much as we might want to, we can’t always protect children from witnessing violence and tragedy in the world, whether it’s mass shootings, terrorist attacks, or war. As parents, teachers, and other supportive adults, what we can do is comfort and communicate with children in the most healing way possible. Parenting and education experts have produced a wealth of resources for having difficult conversations with kids about tragedies.

It Takes a Village to Raise Resilient Teens

Parents do a better job raising teenagers when their community steps up to help them. In this Q & A, Allison Gilbert, Senior Writer for the Center for Parent and Teen Communication, talks with CPTC’s new Executive Director, Dr. Jillian Baker, about why stronger communities raise more successful teenagers. They also discuss how the positive influence of strong communities on families is too often overlooked.

The Success Sequence: New Research Findings

The “Success Sequence” refers to the concept of milestones a young person should complete in their life that are associated with greater economic self-sufficiency and family stability. These steps are most commonly understood as 1) finishing high school, 2) having a full-time job, and 3) waiting for marriage to have children. Up until now, a key part of the Success Sequence has been the order in which a young person achieves these milestones.

With funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Mathematica conducted an economic analysis of the Success Sequence steps to assess their actual benefits for young people.

Join us to discuss Mathematica’s findings about the Success Sequence including new thinking about the order of the milestones, what some alternative pathways may be for young people, and the significance of their order in creating economic self-sufficiency and family stability.

Objectives: Participants will be able to explain:

The most common Success Sequence milestones and pathways youth complete by age 30 and their variation across gender, race, and socio-economic status.
How the order of Success Sequence milestones is associated with economic self-sufficiency and family stability after age 30.
How the new findings on the Success Sequence can inform programming for youth.

Presenters:
Hande Inanc, Ph.D., Senior Researcher at Mathematic

Ariella Spitzer, Ph.D., Researcher at Mathematica

Who should attend:

Healthy relationship and responsible fatherhood grantees, teen pregnancy prevention providers, federal and state policy makers, community based facilitators, health and FCS educators, school social workers, and anyone with interest in youth and/or economic self-sufficiency.

When: Wednesday, June 8, 2022, 4:00 pm Eastern/1:00 pm Pacific
