Announcing our newest curriculum! Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience Research has shown that when young people learn to overcome the effects of trauma and toxic stress, they can actually rewire their brains. Mind Matters increases teen and young adults’ ability to self-regulate, self-soothe, and more fully participate in other skill-building classes. In 12 one-hour lessons that can be delivered in shorter blocks by para-professionals, the course helps students cultivate simple practices that can heal their brains, their health, and their lives. To learn more, register for the Mind Matters webinar with Carolyn Curtis, Ph.D., program developer, on Wednesday, June 14. Or pre-order the Program Kit by June 30 to save 20%.

How Adults Can Promote Young People’s Healthy Relationships and Prevent Misogyny and Sexual Harassment Many adults—especially parents—often fret about youth and the "hook-up culture." But research suggests that far fewer young people are "hooking up" than we are commonly led to believe. This focus on the hook-up culture also obscures two much bigger issues that many young people appear to be struggling with: forming and maintaining healthy romantic relationships and dealing with widespread misogyny and sexual harassment. Harvard University, Graduation School of Education’s project - Making Caring Common's has released a new report, The Talk: How Adults Can Promote Young People’s Healthy Relationships and Prevent Misogyny and Sexual Harassment, which explores these issues and offers insights into how adults can begin to have meaningful and constructive conversations about them with the young people in their lives.

What triggers a high-school student to suddenly drop out? What pushes a teenager to suddenly drop out of high school? The answer: any number of very stressful "trigger" events that occur in their final few months in class, researchers at Université de Montréal's Public Health Research Institute have found. In fact, adolescents exposed to severe stressors are more than twice as likely to drop out in the following few months compared to similar schoolmates who are not exposed. The stressors are not always school-related. In fact, most occur away from school and can involve family members (divorcing parents, for example), conflicts with peers, work issues (being laid off), health issues (a car accident) and legal issues.

Study of sisters helps explain dad's influence on risky sexual behavior What is it about a father that affects his teenage daughter's likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behavior? Researchers have long shown links between father involvement and daughters' sexual behavior, with the standard explanation attributing that influence to shared genes that impact both a father's behavior and relationships and his child's problem behavior. “It’s not enough for a dad to just be in the home,” said Danielle J. DelPriore, a post-doctoral fellow in the University of Utah’s department of psychology and lead author of the study. “The quality of a father’s relationship with his daughter has implications for both the overall monitoring she receives from her parents as well as her likelihood of affiliating with more promiscuous or more prosocial friends.”

Student sex assault reports and how they vary by state Unlike colleges and universities, there are no national requirements for U.S. elementary and secondary schools to track student sexual assaults. But 32 states and the District of Columbia do maintain information, though it is inconsistent and sometimes incomplete, The Associated Press found. Some states required school districts to log any student sexual assault on school property or at school-sponsored events, but others required reporting of only those assaults resulting in certain types of student discipline.
