a kirby summit brief: developmental neuroscience and adolescent sexual health: emotion

adolescence is a period of remarkable physical, cognitive, social and emotional changes that impact behaviors, relationships and health. promising research from the field of developmental neuroscience on changes occurring in the social-emotional processes in the adolescent brain provides opportunities for educators, applied researchers and program developers to bridge from these new scientific advances to the improvement of young people’s sexual health and relationships.

let her learn

stopping school pushout is a series of reports from the national women’s law center that centers the experiences of girls—those who have suffered harassment and sexual violence; who are pregnant and parents; girls of color; girls involved in the juvenile justice system; girls in foster care; those who have experienced homelessness; girls with disabilities; and lgbtq girls—examining the educational barriers they face and offering recommendations to address them.

capturing the ripple effect

this report, by the annenberg institute for school reform at brown university, suggests the paths by which building parents’ leadership capacity could lead to ripples of reform in policies and programs for children. the authors collaborated with parent leaders, researchers, practitioners, and experts in the field to develop a draft theory of change showing how parent leaders might transform themselves and their children, families, communities, and states.
