THE LATEST

History And Implementation Of The Federally Funded HMRE Grants

Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education (HMRE) programs are designed to teach youth and adult individuals—as well as unmarried, married, or coparenting couples—how to communicate effectively, manage conflict, identify signs of an unhealthy relationship, and apply other skills for developing and maintaining healthy relationships. This brief draws from a mix of evaluation and descriptive studies that highlight implementation findings that inform the HMRE initiative to promote the well-being of children and families.

When Family Stress Is High, Teen Depression Can Follow

It can be difficult to grow. But it’s even more difficult for young African-Americans living below the poverty line. A new study from the University of Georgia suggests that stress from financial hardship can also harm the mental health of young people. However, learning more about the issues of perpetuating poverty and poor mental health can help policy makers break the cycle.

Strengthening Families Affected by Parental Incarceration

Over 5 million American children under the age of 18 years, a disproportionate number of whom are Black or Latino, have had a residential parent jailed or incarcerated. While a number of existing studies identify parental incarceration as a key risk factor for poor child and family outcomes, there is more limited information describing programs that aim to promote positive outcomes for children with parents involved in the criminal justice system. This literature review analyzes published studies about family strengthening programs that seek to maintain and build healthy relationships between parents who are incarcerated and their children.

NEWS YOU CAN USE

Root Of Teen Empathy Begins With Secure Relationships At Home

Teenagers who have close, secure relationships with their families are more likely to extend empathy to their peers, according to a new study. More specifically, when teens feel safe, supported by and connected to parents or other adult caregivers, they are better equipped to pass the empathy they receive on to others.

Relationship With Dad May Ease Some Teen Troubles

Researchers examine how “parental intimacy” in families with mothers and fathers affected the children’s self-esteem, weight concerns, and depressive symptoms at different points across adolescence. They found that closeness with fathers had broad, positive effects across adolescence for both daughters and sons. But while close relationships with mothers also had benefits, they were more limited by their children’s age, and weren’t protective against all the adjustment issues measured in the study for both girls and boys.

How Much Kids' Mental Health Has Suffered In The Pandemic

One of the largest studies on children’s mental health during the pandemic to date shows just how significant the toll has been, indicating that 1 in 4 youth around the globe are grappling with clinically elevated symptoms of depression, and that 1 in 5 have increased signs of anxiety. Those numbers suggest that depression and anxiety have essentially doubled among children worldwide during the pandemic, according to the researchers.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

How to Map Your Programs to Your Strategy

Many nonprofits operate multiple programs or services, sometimes across multiple sites, and find themselves facing decisions about which programs they should grow, which they should try to improve, and which they may need to scale back or even exit altogether. Using a program strategy map, an organization can visualize how each of its programs contributes to its dual bottom line.

Reframing Transition Age Foster Youth: A Communications Toolkit

Those of us who work with and support transition age foster youth need new ways of communicating about challenges they face, their resilience in the face of adversity, and the opportunities we can provide when we support them effectively. By thinking about the stories we tell and the ways we tell them, we can offer up powerful alternatives to narratives that reinforce thinking about young people permanently damaged by their circumstances. A new online communications toolkit from the FrameWorks Institute offers a variety of ways to talk about transition age foster youth that simultaneously builds understanding about their needs while raising support for addressing them.

The Young Parents Logic Model

Parents will be the first to tell you how hard it is. All parents, no matter their age, need help and benefit from many different kinds of supports, resources, and education. It’s also hard to be a teen. It’s not hard to remember at least some of the struggles, the learning, the growth teens go through, from middle school to high school, and beyond. Smash those two together, and yes adolescents and young adults who are pregnant and parenting have a broad set of unique needs. However, when young people who are pregnant or parenting are supported and empowered with essential services and education, they, and their children, can thrive.

BlueCross BlueShield of Texas

Healthy Kids, Healthy Families®

Deadline: August 16, 2021

Healthy Kids, Healthy Families (HKHF) began in 2011 as a three-year initiative by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX), designed to improve the health and wellness of at least 1 million children through community investments. We extended the program, making HKHF part of our ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of the children and families across Texas. Although access to medical care is an important piece of the puzzle, we know it’s not the only factor that determines someone’s health. Overall, a community’s health outcomes are molded by other dynamics as well, including:

Housing
Nutrition (healthy food and exercise)
Education and jobs
Mental health
Safe environment

Targeting Priority Populations and Areas with Replication of Effective Programs for Teen Pregnancy Prevention

Estimated Post Date: January 14, 2022

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) anticipates the availability of FY2022 funds to support cooperative agreements for eligible entities to replicate 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 target specific populations and/or priority areas with effective programs and supports to complement and enhance replication of effective programs in order to have the greatest impact on reducing teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Teen Pregnancy Prevention Research Grants

Estimated Post Date: January 14, 2022

OPA anticipates the availability of funding for Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) research projects and research-to-practice translation centers. The grants will make significant contributions to the teenage pregnancy prevention field by resulting in improved curricula development and delivery strategies, reduction of disparities among participants, and better data collection and analysis related to program effectiveness. The research grants will primarily consist of secondary data analyses or small research projects to explore new questions in teenage pregnancy prevention that improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of pregnancy prevention programs for adolescents or young adults, and/or reduce disparities, by age, gender, race/ethnicity, or setting. The research-to-practice translation centers will synthesize and translate existing research into practice for health promotion and development of positive assets that will lead to adoption of healthy behaviors and ultimately help to reduce teen pregnancy. The centers are expected to evaluate or assess the research, best practices, approaches, or strategies in a priority protective factor area and make that information easily accessible to health providers, caregivers and others working with youth to prevent teen pregnancy.
