Impact & News
From research to real conversations
We share findings through media, outreach, and policy conversations so they reach the families, educators, and technologists shaping young people’s lives.
Community Outreach
Partnership with the community is key to our success.
We aspire to both listen and address questions from the community, sharing what we know about how healthy relationships develop and how they shape well-being and academic success.
School & Community Presentations
We offer presentations to schools, parents, and students on topics such as “Healthy Relationships and Academic Success” and “Adolescence: An Opportune Time for Change.” Presentations include hands-on experiences for students and parents.
