Social Media Rescues Young People’s Sanity

Adolescents’ brains are wired to learn through social interaction, and their bodies are designed to respond to it. They have a heightened sensitivity to reward from their friends, with whom life seems so much better. COVID-19 is making digital technologies more vital for young people, having pushed them almost overnight out of schools, sports and theatres and into their homes, where the only way to connect with peers may be via phones and computers. That shift is making us talk about a critical but neglected issue – not the tired, ill-evidenced debate about hours of screen time, but how time spent online can be used to benefit young people’s well-being.

Divorce and Personal Wealth

Does divorce affect wealth inequity? According to Kapelle and Baxter, personal wealth declines substantially following separation and rarely recovers after divorce. Divorcees lose housing wealth and often lack the necessary capital for a deposit on a new home. The authors find that both men and women faced similar individual wealth losses, but argue that men may be in a better position to rebuild wealth because they typically have more wealth prior to the separation.

Program Implementers Should Engage Early and Often

Strong, early partnerships between program implementers and evaluators can lead to innovative solutions to challenges that program implementers face. And while the primary role of evaluators is to inform implementers of whether (and how) their program is effective, engaging a program evaluator before and during implementation can improve the program, and therefore the evaluation, in unexpected ways.

Supporting Program Progress: 2020 Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Grantees

The review examines three key areas: what changes to the HMRF performance measures would improve the usefulness, quality, and clarity of data collected; what enhancements to Information, Family Outcomes, Reporting, and Management (nFORM) (the data collection system through which grantees submit data) would increase data quality and improve user experience and data access; and what training and technical assistance activities would help grantees when using nFORM. The review is drawn from lessons learned from the 2015 cohort of HMRF grantees.

Peek Inside Their Brain

Healthy 15 – 16-year-olds may engage in some thrill-seeking. Help them experience positive thrills, so they don’t have to find them through alcohol, drugs, or sex. Teens may be stressed about grades, relationships, or their appearance, but they’re also developing their sense of self and defining who they are as individuals.

Online Teaching Strategies:

Tips and Guidance from the Field


We are starting this school year with many questions. Will we teach students in classrooms? Or, will we engage them via ZOOM? (Based on current conditions, ZOOM looks more and more likely.) Our big question is… how do we effectively teach relationship skills virtually?


In March, Dibble convened a working group of clients who were moving instruction online. Together, we created this free Online Teaching Toolkit. Join us in a conversation with several experienced practitioners who were part of that effort to learn how they successfully moved their instruction in Dibble materials into the virtual world.


Objectives: Webinar attendees will gain guidance in:

  1. The points to consider when developing an online teaching approach.

  2. Tips for keeping young people engaged in online learning.

  3. The apps and tools that enhance core concepts.

  4. Best practices for online facilitation.

Presenters: 

  • Tracy Barber, Aiming for Healthy Families, Mississippi

  • John Lewis, Urban Strategies, California

  • Jonelle Zachary, Healthy Visions, Ohio

  • Alexander Chan, University of Maryland Extension, Maryland


Who should attend: Program managers, federal and state grantees, facilitators and educators who will be teaching relationship skills online.


When: Wednesday, August 12, 2020, 4:00 pm Eastern/1:00 pm Pacific

Duration: Approximately 60 minutes
Cost: Free!
