Today we see all sorts of single parent families: headed by mothers, fathers, and even by a grandparent raising their grandchildren. Single parent families deal with many other pressures and potential problem areas that other families may not face.

Coparenting and Healthy Relationship and Marriage Education for Dads

Fathers, children, and their families benefit from healthy coparenting and romantic relationships. Healthy relationships can improve fathers’ mental health and the quality of their involvement with their children, and can support positive health and developmental outcomes for children. The purpose of this report is to inform both ACF and the broader fatherhood practice and research fields about the ways in which fatherhood programs support, or could better support, fathers’ healthy coparenting and romantic relationships

 

(Editor’s Note: Programs focusing on young dads, often use Love Notes, which addresses parenting, fatherhood, and co-parenting/romantic relationships.)

How To Protect Children from the Negative Impacts Of ACEs

A team of researchers has created a framework for comprehensively addressing the cascade of problems that emerge from adverse experiences of children from birth to age 18. Based on years of research, the framework – called the Intergenerational and Cumulative Adverse and Resilient Experiences (ICARE) model – identifies 10 types of ACEs, as well as 10 protective and compensatory experiences (PACEs) that build resilience.

Nurturing Inclusive Relationships in Schools and Out-of-School Time Programs

Humans share a fundamental need to belong and feel included. Yet, too often, young people do not feel seen and welcome in their schools and programs. This is what we call a relationship gap—the distance between what young people need and what they experience.

Commitment, Ambiguity, and Relationship Formation


From hooking up, to living together, to bearing children prior to clarity about having a future together, relationship and family development has changed. New paradigms have important implications for how we understand the romantic and sexual relationships of young adults. Ambiguity is a preferred condition of relationships for many, which makes it easier to finesse intentions and hide asymmetrical commitment. However, this new relationship paradigm can lead to a person losing life options before making a clear choice about what they want the most.


In this webinar, Scott Stanley, Ph.D. will explain the ways motivated ambiguity intersects with types of commitment (e.g., constraint and dedication) to impact mate selection and lasting love. Some themes include the role of commitment in securing attachment, asymmetrical commitment, and research on how common types of relationship transitions can impact long-term outcomes.

Objectives: Webinar participants will be able to:

  1. Understand how teen and early adulthood relationships impact future relationships, marriage, and family stability.

  2. Explain to young adults how to protect future life options through relationship decisions.

  3. Explain to young adults how ambiguity in dating and mating increases risks for asymmetrical commitment, and how to recognize its warning signs.

Presenter: Scott Stanley, Ph.D., PREP, Inc. and the University of Denver


Who should attend: Program managers, facilitators, health and Family and Consumer Sciences teachers, college educators, foster parents, counselors, social workers, community action workers, Extension professionals, public health professionals, and anyone working with young people.


When: NEW TIME! Wednesday, January 12, 2022, 4:30 pm Eastern/1:30 pm Pacific


Duration: 60 minutes

Cost: Free!
