Dr. J.J. Harman with co-authors C. Giancarlo, D. Lorandos and B. Ludmer are thrilled to receive the Ned Holstein Shared Parenting Research award from the National Parents Organization, announced on April 25th.   Our paper, which was published in Children and Youth Services Review in December of 2023, took a data analysis approach to determine the accuracy of hypotheses that in court cases where parental alienation is claimed mothers lose custody of their children to abusive fathers at an “alarming” rate. Through analysis of 500 trial court cases, these claims were found to be false.   The impact of this research was recognized through this award that is given to authors of the best article or book published in the previous 12 months relating to the mission of National Parents Organization (NPO) – to improve the lives of children and strengthen society by protecting every child’s right to the love and care of both parents when divorced or separated, through scientific research-based advocacy.   https://lnkd.in/gM3znHug

YMC Staff and youth participants attend #YOUTHDAYS2023 in Washington D.C to learn about #publicpolicy, #advocacy, and meet with key federal decision makers. In youth-led sessions, youth advocates and young adults discussed several topics such as education, youth #mentalhealth, gun violence, and youth employment. This opportunity allows youth to gain expertise on how federal law impacts their life and community. It also teaches youth how to efficiently advocate for social equity and justice. #mentoringmovement

The justice system is only as good as the people impacted by it. When we talk about rehabilitation, but we are sending men and women back into their communities without practical re-entry education and substantive supports, they cannot succeed. If we fully embrace the idea of rehabilitation and give justice-impacted people the training, therapy and tools they need to better themselves, we will be releasing healthy, functional, productive men and women into communities that need them. It is the only recipe for long term success. https://lnkd.in/gPz-sgbq
