Six Types of Loves Differentially Recruit Reward and Social Cognition Brain Areas

Feelings of love are among the most significant human phenomena. Love informs the formation and maintenance of pair bonds, parent-offspring attachments, and influences relationships with others and even nature. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms of love beyond romantic and maternal types. Here, we characterize the brain areas involved in love for six different objects: romantic partner, one’s children, friends, strangers, pets, and nature.

Webinar- Powering Progress: Boosting Program Effectiveness with Implementation Drivers

Join Project Evident October 3, 2024 for a dynamic Equitable Outcomes Wallet webinar tailored for nonprofit teams, where we’ll explore the key drivers that make programs thrive. Have you ever wondered why some nonprofits flourish—reaching more people and making a lasting impact—while others struggle? Often, success comes down to two critical components: your team's skills and knowledge (i.e., "competency drivers") and how your organization supports them (i.e., "organizational drivers") (Fixsen et al., 2005).

CCVI STRATEGIES FUNDING

Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP)- GA Only

Application Due Date: October 18, 2024

The projects of interest should focus on community treatment and violence intervention programs (track one) or intervention services and education programs for youth and children in need of services (track two).


Our evidence based program Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience would be a great intervention model for children and their families who have experienced trauma or are at risk of experiencing trauma to write into a behavioral health crisis intervention program


Please reach out to me for a free review copy of Mind Matters or would like to strategize ways to respond to this opportunity.

The purpose of this NOFO is to build the evidence base for the prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV), including teen dating violence, and/or sexual violence (SV) in communities experiencing elevated risk of IPV/SV (i.e., people with shared social and structural conditions that create elevated risk). These communities include but are not limited to racial/ethnic minority groups, sexual and gender minority groups, and people with disabilities. This NOFO seeks proposals to support formative research of innovative primary prevention approaches (i.e., policies, programs, or practices) that address inequities in IPV and/or SV.

This proposal aims at building the evidence base for the primary prevention of intimate partner violence, including teen dating violence, and/or sexual violence. This funding opportunity will support rigorous outcome evaluations of promising practice-based prevention approaches that are currently being implemented by state and/or local organizations that address intimate partner violence and/or sexual violence. This includes, but is not limited to, organizations that receive funding under CDC’s Rape Prevention and Education Program and CDC’s DELTA AHEAD program. By promising practice-based approaches we mean programs, policies, or practices that can demonstrate the following: (a) Evidence of implementation in the field for a minimum of two years; and (b) Collection of prior positive implementation-related outcomes (e.g., data demonstrating reach, fidelity, availability, and/or acceptability of the approach) and/or collection of outcome monitoring data before and after implementing the approach that demonstrate positive changes in relevant outcomes. Research on promising practice-based prevention approaches will evaluate the effectiveness of prevention approaches that already have traction within the field but have not been rigorously evaluated
