National Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences A growing body of research has made it increasingly apparent that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a critical public health issue. ACEs are potentially traumatic experiences and events, ranging from abuse and neglect to living with an adult with a mental illness. They can have negative, lasting effects on health and well-being in childhood or later in life. Economic hardship and divorce or separation of a parent or guardian are the most common ACEs reported nationally, and in all states. (Ed. Note: Dibble programs can both help prevent ACEs by helping young people build stable families and address ACEs by teaching skills and practices that cultivate healing.)

Authentic Relationships Matter Most Upbring, a thought leader among child welfare nonprofits, and the Texas Institute for Child and Family Wellbeing today released the pilot report from the Texas Youth Permanency Study (TYPS). The study calls into question the child welfare system’s decades-long assumption that placing youth with adoptive parents, biological parents or relatives is sufficient to ensure they have a “forever family” and that they successfully transition to adulthood. “Relationships are the key to building resilience. Sadly, our child welfare system is focused on legal outcomes – returning children to their parents, terminating parental rights, getting a child adopted,” principal investigator Dr. Monica Faulkner, Ph.D., LMSW said. “We don’t focus on the ‘normal’ relationships that youth need with friends, siblings and supportive adults.

One in 4 young people said they'd received sexts, and one in seven reported sending them, according to the study, which was published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The researchers found that younger people engage in sexting in large part as a way to begin exploring attraction to other people.

Aggression Linked to High School Dropout Rates While the national high school dropout rate has declined, many school systems still struggle with a high number of students who do not finish high school. The factors that may lead to a student's decision to leave school are complex, but a new study from the University of Georgia sheds light on how two behaviors — aggression and weak study skills — contribute to the problem. Students classified in the high aggression/low study skills group had a 50 percent dropout rate compared to students with low aggression and high study skills who had a dropout rate of less than 2 percent.

Teen Dating Violence Is an Indicator of Gun Violence Soon after 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz shot and killed 17 students and faculty members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, media attention immediately turned to who the shooter was and what "warning signs" illustrated prior to the event may have indicated that he was likely to carry out such a horrendous attack. Much of the focus was on his potential ties to white nationalist groups as well as his ongoing run-ins with law enforcement. Among these details, however, was another key piece of information: Like many mass shooters, Cruz had a history of violence against women.

Teen Pregnancy Among Sexual Minorities Linked to Abuse Bisexual and lesbian women are more likely to get pregnant as teenagers than heterosexual peers, which is explained in part by childhood abuse and bullying, a new study found.
