Self-Regulation Training Approaches and Resources

Youth need support to process emotions, cope with stress, and for self-regulation—managing thoughts and feelings to achieve goals and make healthy decisions in the moment and for the future. Caring adults such as parents, guardians, teachers, and coaches support the development of self-regulation skills from infancy through young adulthood through a process called co-regulation. This report describes how researchers in prevention science and public health partnered with practitioners who deliver Dibble curricula through youth healthy marriage and relationship education programs to translate the concept of co-regulation into action.

Dating Violence Disclosure in Youth Relationship Programs

The overarching objective of the RIViR study was to assess and compare the effectiveness of teen dating violence (TDV) assessment approaches for identifying youth program participants experiencing TDV so that they can be referred for further services. The RIViR project partnered with two Dibble clients —More Than Conquerors, Inc. of Conyers, Georgia and Youth and Family Services of Rapid City, South Dakota—to examine and compare three different approaches to recognizing and responding to TDV in youth-serving programs.

Adversity in Childhood Linked to Mental and Physical Health Throughout Life

The prevalence of “toxic stress” and huge downstream consequences in disease, suffering, and financial costs make prevention and early intervention crucial, say Charles A. Nelson and colleagues.

Historical Trends in Marriage, Divorce, and Widowhood

The National Center for Family and Marriage Research (NCFMR) recently released a new three-part series of Family Profiles examining historical trends in marriage, divorce, and widowhood. Using data spanning over 100 years from the National Center for Health Statistics and the Census, these profiles illustrate the changing landscape of marital formation and dissolution in the United States. Patterns over time are also examined by race and ethnicity and educational attainment.

Low-level Parental Conflict Contributes to Children’s Mental Health Problems

Low-level, poorly resolved conflict between parents – bickering, giving the cold shoulder, eye-rolling – can seem inconsequential. It isn’t physical violence, after all. But it is a feature in many families. And such behavior may help explain enduring mental health problems for many children, including depression, anxiety, poor sleep, and aggressive behavior.

When Do Teens Feel Loved by Their Parents?

In their drive for independence, teenagers can seem to reject parents. A new study suggests that the key to making them feel loved is to be persistently warm, even in conflict.

Nurturing the Amazing Teen Brain

The way children’s brains grow during adolescence has lasting effects on their health and well-being later on in life. Brain science offers important insight into how and why adolescents may act the way they do. And it helps guide parents on ways to support teens’ growing development.

Sexting, Consent and the ‘Quaranteen’

San Franciscan teacher offers guidance for for parents on talking to teens about consent while on lockdown. Teenagers who have gotten used to a certain amount of independence may be finding that the only place they can flex their autonomy and act out a bit right now is online. Others don’t want to be asked for nudes, and the uptick in solicitations stresses them out. Either way, it’s an important time to talk about digital consent. Hint: Use french fries as an example.

Tips for Virtually Engaging Parents and Caregivers

Parents and other caregivers of adolescents play a key role in supporting young people and helping them navigate adolescence as they transition toward adulthood. This is particularly important during times of stress and change, such as the current public health pandemic that has upended the regular routines of adolescents and families. This tip sheet provides you with strategies you can use to reach out to parents virtually and provide them with support and information to help them cope with the challenges of the pandemic situation.

Recognizing and Responding to Teen Dating Violence

The Responding to Intimate Violence in Relationship Programs (RIViR) study enrolled 648 youth from school-based healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE) programs. Participants were invited to complete two questionnaire-style screening tools and a one-on-one universal education conversation with staff, given in random order. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis examined the accuracy, acceptability and feasibility of these three approaches to recognizing and responding to IPV.
