Results showed that higher quality partnerships are associated with both decreases in negative affect and increases in positive affect with no significant gender differences.

The Power of the Success Sequence

The “Success Sequence” is a proven formula to help young adults succeed in America. The latest research shows that 97% of young people who follow all three steps are not poor as adults. And 90% of young adults who complete the first two steps (graduate high school and get a full-time job) are not poor in their 30s. In comparison, half of adults in their 30s who missed all three steps (52%) are in poverty.

The Importance of Perspective Taking In Maintaining Healthy Romantic Relationships

Perspective-taking appears to act as a buffer against psychological relationship aggression during emerging adulthood, according to new research published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. Forming and maintaining romantic relationships is an important part of emerging adulthood, and psychological aggression can play an pivotal role in this process.

Interconnecting Mental Health and Behavioral Support Improves School Safety

School Mental Health services focus on early identification and access to the mental health support for students with behavioral problems. Clinicians who are implementing treatment, however, are often isolated from other school programming resources (like Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports), so there can be a disconnect between those who are handling a student’s services. And it often takes a student reaching crisis levels before they are referred to the School Mental Health services that they need.

 

(Ed. Note: Mind Matters can connect clinicians to programming, improve Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions! Learn more about how you can use this program to directly improve mental wellness in students and address student trauma.)

The Cost of Caring: Compassion Fatigue And The Helping Professions

Empathy is the ability to understand another person’s perspective and have an emotional experience in response. Like most human characteristics, the capacity for empathy occurs along a continuum with some people much better at it than others. Those who choose the helping professions generally have a high capacity for empathy. The best clinicians generally have the greatest ability to empathize. But they’re also at the greatest risk for developing compassion fatigue. Discover your capacity for empathy with the Interpersonal Reactivity Index. It is free to use and more can be learned about it here.
