DIBBLE NEWS

No-Cost “Mind Matters Minutes” Builds Resilience in Youth

Young people, especially in these times, can be stressed and anxious. Are you seeing this in the youth you serve? What about those youth who have experienced prior trauma or ACEs? Would building resilience skills help them?

The Dibble Institute is pleased to announce Mind Matters Minutes, a free, virtual self-regulation series, created especially for today’s youth.

Mind Matters Minutes provide teachers and youth workers with nine no-cost, short video practices from the acclaimed Mind Matters program. They are designed to be easily shared with young people either online or in-person. Each practice presents a skill to reduce reactivity and build resilience.

Dibble Materials Now Included in the National Instructional Materials Access Center

All student materials for Love Notes, Relationship Smarts PLUS, and Mind Matters have now full compliant with NIMAC requirements, the national repository of accessible educational materials. This means that students who are differently abled will now gain the benefits of relationship education.

Now that Dibble materials are in the NIMAS fileset, the XML and image source files may be used to create not only printed materials, but also screen enlargement, braille, large print, HTML, DAISY talking books using human voice or text-to-speech, audio files derived from text-to-speech transformations, and more.

Dating Violence Prevention Month – New Case Study

Women in Need, Inc. of Hunt and Rockwell counties, provide domestic violence services to victims and survivors of domestic, dating, and intimate partner violence. Learn about how WIN used Love Notes as an intervention with high school students to prevent teen dating violence.

THE LATEST

Association of Social Support, Depression, Anxiety, and Suicidal Ideation in Young Adults

In this cohort study of 1174 adults aged 19 to 20 years, perceived social support was found to be statistically and significantly associated with fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms, and suicide-related outcomes at 1-year follow-up even after accounting for key confounders, including prior mental health problems in adolescence.

Conflict Between Divorced Parents Can Lead to Mental Health Problems in Children

Conflict between divorced or separated parents increases the risk of children developing physical and mental health problems. A new study from the Arizona State University Research and Education Advancing Children's Health (REACH) Institute found that children experience fear of being abandoned when their divorced or separated parents engage in conflict. Worrying about being abandoned predicted future mental health problems in children.

Young Men and Society, Part 2: Social Isolation, Gaming, and Porn

Man Interrupted made clear that excessive video game and porn use should be more researched and openly discussed. Hard-core pornography is one-click away, video games are designed to be addictive, and boys and young men themselves are increasingly asking for help because they don’t know how to regulate their own use of these and related technologies. Because of the new difficulties facing young men in this changing, uncertain world, many are choosing to isolate themselves in a place where they have control over outcomes—where there is no fear of rejection and they are praised for their abilities.

Characteristics of Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Grantees

A new resource from The Marriage Strengthening Research and Dissemination Center describes the characteristics of federally funded healthy marriage and relationship education grantees, as well as their implementation strategies. For example, the analysis finds that, in 2015, these programs aimed to serve individuals and couples who may face challenges in maintaining healthy relationships due to social and economic barriers, such as youth experiencing homelessness and single parents.

Factors Influencing Youth Sexual Activity

Policymakers and practitioners are interested in identifying strategies and approaches to empower youth to make informed decisions that promote optimal health. Such decisions include the avoidance and cessation of sexual risk. Identifying the factors that influence youth’s decisions to avoid or cease sexual activity can support policymak¬ers, practitioners, developers, and public health officials as they develop and implement programming to improve risk-related outcomes.

Decline in Unintended Births

Although unintended births - those categorized as too early or unwanted - have declined in recent years in the U.S., about three in ten births in recent years were unintended. Second births are least often categorized as unintended, at 25%, with the highest share of births that are unintended occurring among third or later births, at 40%.

Go Tell Your Teen You Love Them

Stand up. Walk over to your teen. Tell them you love them, just because. That kind of love—the kind that is based on your child just being themselves and not doled out as a reward for a certain behavior or particular success—provides security and gives your child the building blocks for creating healthy relationships in the future.

How To Build Relationships With Students In Remote Learning Environments

Remote learning can hamper how children forge connections between each other and their teachers. Students tend to perform better when they feel their teacher is invested in them personally and sees them as individuals. That connection between a student and teacher can also help build a “welcoming, inclusive school climate” while also contributing to boosts in student outcomes, according to Education Northwest.
