Healthy Minds

Results from Healthy Minds Study Released

Healthy Minds, a four-year curriculum in the United Kingdom for ages 12-16, covers standard health topics and also focuses on important resilience skills, social media, mental illness, parenting, romantic relationships (Relationship Smarts PLUS), and the practice of mindfulness. It is being evaluated by the London School of Economics.

This trial has proven that when personal, social and health education subjects are prioritized and teachers are properly trained to provide good quality teaching and learning then such lessons can have a significant positive impact on students.

The effects of constantly being bullied are more than just psychological. Research now shows that there may be physical structural differences in the brains of adolescents who are regularly victimized, and this could increase the chance that they suffer from mental illness.

Cross-National Comparisons of Union Stability in Cohabiting and Married Families With Children

Increases in cohabitation, nonmarital childbearing, and partnership dissolution have reshaped the family landscape in most Western countries. The United States shares many features of family change common elsewhere, although it is exceptional in its high degree of union instability. In this study, we use the Harmonized Histories to provide a rich, descriptive account of union instability among couples who have had a child together in the United States and several European countries.
