DIBBLE NEWS

Dibble Clients Awarded 70 New 2020 Federal Grants!

The Dibble Institute is thrilled to report that our clients have received over $160 million in new federal funding to reach over 117,806 youth with healthy relationship education. Organizations from 26 states, districts, and territories successfully won grants from the Office of Family Assistance, Office of Population Affairs, Family and Youth Services Bureau, and the Office of Child Support Enforcement.

“We are pleased that healthy relationship education is increasingly recognized as an intervention with youth that can positively impact so many facets of their lives including self-regulation, pregnancy prevention, sexual risk avoidance, and economic mobility,” Kay Reed, Executive Director remarked. “We also applaud the hard work of all who applied but were not selected in this round. We remain committed to working with all applicants to find other funding streams at the federal, state, and local levels to support this critical piece of positive youth development.”

Helping Georgia’s Youth Become Relationship Smart

Developmentally, one of the ways adolescents explore who they are is through romantic relationships. How adolescents approach these relationships is influenced by the relationships modeled around them. While some youth may have witnessed and learned about positive couple interactions from good models, many may have witnessed only poor models of couple relationships. Educational programs on healthy relationships, such as Relationship Smarts, can help youth develop skills to make smart relationship choices and avoid risky behaviors. This publication describes why relationship education is relevant to youth.

Impacts of Family Structure on Puberty Onset in Girls

Research published in BMC Pediatrics suggests that girls who do not live with both parents from birth to age two may be at higher risk of starting puberty at a younger age than girls living with both parents. According to the authors, stress in early life may influence puberty onset and could potentially be mitigated by interventions aiming to improve child wellbeing.

Legislation to Promote Healthy Relationships

New legislation was just introduced to make improvements to our nation’s child support program to ensure that low-income children and families get the financial support they need. Included in this legislation is the reauthorization of the Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood (HMRF) grant program for 5 years, improvements to promote coordination, partnership with domestic violence shelter and service organizations, establish infrastructure for HMRF grantees to measure outcomes and receive technical assistance, and support HMRF programs and ensure continuity of services during a public health emergency.

Marriage Trends Across Racial Groups and Economic Backgrounds

Researchers from the University of Michigan examine the family formation in the United States. Changes are dramatic; marriage has become less common, non-marital cohabitation has become more common, and racial and economic inequalities in these experiences have increased. The article provides insights into recent U.S. trends by presenting cohort estimates for people born between 1970 and 1997, who began forming unions between 1985 and 2015.

In addition to highlighting human trafficking (HT) risk factors, the brief offers a variety of HT prevention components that can be easily integrated into programmatic activities, such healthy relationship education.

Should You Call or Text? Science Weighs In

Texting may not be enough. A new study suggests that we undervalue the bonding and enjoyment we get from hearing someone's voice.
