Emerging Relationships Brings Healthy Relationship Education to Tweens!

Healthy relationship skills are the foundation for safety, stability, and well-being. Starting to teach these skills to youth before adolescence prepares them to say yes to their goals and no to the risky behaviors that can get in the way of achieving those goals!

Emerging Relationships is an all-new, research-based curriculum from The Dibble Institute that uses a positive youth development framework to reach fifth and sixth graders with developmentally appropriate healthy relationships content. In six lessons, they will learn skills to enhance their understanding of themselves and to contribute to healthy friendships with their peers.

Mind Matters Shines in Arizona!

Dibble client, Arizona Youth Partnership (AZYP), is using Mind Matters in two unique prevention settings.

With funding from Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (healthcare), AZYP is using Mind Matters with school-aged youth at risk for substance use or misuse. AZYP is using their own staff to reach 8th grade students in health classes across the state.

With funding from the Arizona Title II Formula Grant (juvenile justice), AZYP is using Mind Matters with youth in mandatory probation classes and other settings as a primary and secondary prevention strategy for justice system involvement.

Thank you, AZYP, for the impact you are making on youth in Arizona!

(Ed. Note: Our June webinar will feature AZYP focusing on their Title II project.)

What New Love Does to Your Brain

Roses are red, violets are blue. Romance can really mess with you.

Scientists have studied what is happening in our brains when we are in those early, heady days of infatuation, and whether it can actually alter how we think and what we do. Their findings suggest that song lyrics and dramatic plotlines don’t overstate it: New love can mess with our heads.

How 20 Years of Same-Sex Marriage Changed America

After ’dire predictions,’ the effects have been largely positive, a new study finds.

Attachment in Adolescence Predicts How the Brain Responds to Handholding in Adulthood

A recent study suggests that adolescent attachment styles significantly influence adult brain responses to social support, showing that securely attached individuals exhibit increased neural activity during handholding, even with strangers.

Using Mind Matters in Juvenile Justice

Interested in working with youth and their families in the juvenile justice system?

Join us as Arizona Youth Partnership (AZYP) shares their experience in collaborating with their Mohave County Juvenile Probation in rural Arizona where services and programming for youth are limited. Using OJJDP Title II funding, AZYP implements Mind Matters to prevent juvenile delinquency, to promote public safety, and to support positive outcomes for youth, families, and the community.

AZYP focuses on youth both at-risk for delinquency and already in the correctional system. They implement Mind Matters in youth shelters, at tribal schools, in diversion classes, at a local PRIDE Center, and in weekly classes for youth on probation.

They will share how they utilize Mind Matters in a variety of settings. They will also cover how to effectively partner with local juvenile justice agencies on grant and community projects.

Objectives: Participants will be able to:

Learn how to implement Mind Matters in rural areas.
Identify ways to partner with juvenile justice and other agencies.
Discover strategies for braiding funding to best serve youth in program deserts.
