Congratulations and best wishes to @UMaine for the new Parenting Relationships Research Lab

New research from @APA_Journals identifies that "family emotional climate [has] a big effect on overall health, including the development or worsening of chronic conditions such as stroke and headaches over the 20-year span of midlife” -https://t.co/kK6bx4Ajvu

Fascinating research from @cornell and @YasaminMiller) into a #domesticabuse and sexual violence prevention programme created by @VeraHouseInc which empowers groups of men to rethink their understanding of gender norms https://t.co/ANVU5Vu3kN

Research from @theRSAorg using the @NFER Teacher Voice survey reaffirms teachers' desire for support from in-school mental health practitioners to reduce the prevalence of exclusions.

I will make my way to Parliament and get there by this evening and I will start to table questions on the Domestic Abuse Bill.

[Mark Lewis @charliebach]

@EmmaHardyMP has been a great champion for LGBT+ inclusive Relationships & Sex Education

However, there is more to be done around training, support and materials.

@THTorguk have been fighting for 40 years for this and will continue to ensure RSE is delivered #Lab19

As Parliament has not been prorogued, the Government Bills which had previously fallen are now live. @relate_charity urges all MPs to complete the passage of the Domestic Abuse Bill and the Divorce, Separation & Dissolution Bill as soon as possible.

Fascinating research from @amyrauer @AllenSabey Christine M. Proulx and @blvolling suggesting that how couples handle marital conflict may depend on what issues they are facing and where they are in their #relationship https://t.co/cXS6u4kfE9

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

All gender identities and sexualities are valid and important. Schools need to equip children with facts to encourage respect and harmony. That's why I've written to all London headteachers to give my backing to LGBTQ+ inclusive relationships education. https://t.co/6nMVzz5NOI

[BACP @BACP]

Research carried out by us and @Relate_charity has given a unique insight into why couples attend relationship counselling.

With the prorogation of #Parliament the Domestic Abuse Bill has fallen. We call on @10DowningStreet to make the bill a priority in the Queen’s Speech on 14 October.

[Relate Policy @RelatePolicy]

Suicide is a complex issue. Often there isn’t one main reason why someone decides to try to take their own life. Things can build up to the point where they see no other way to cope with what they're feeling. Relate #counselling can help. #worldsuicideday https://t.co/iORwQuHCch

[Relate Policy @RelatePolicy]

Relate adopts a systemic approach to family #counselling and we welcome the @ChildrensComm @annelongfield Manifesto challenge to all politicians to commit to extend and expand the Troubled Families programme https://t.co/Jb2FkcUTYu

[Relate Policy @RelatePolicy]

Fascinating research from University of California researchers Ahna Ballonoff Suleiman and Ronald Dahl, into the impact of #puberty on parent-child #relationships; looked at through the lens of #neuroscience https://t.co/1ovDcyP7Sv

[Relate Policy @RelatePolicy]

There are many different kinds of relationships and Relate #counselling can help with all of them. New research from @JoSoPerRel suggests that cross-sex best friendships can adversely affect romantic relationships. https://t.co/JSyP2oh1Ml

[Relate Policy @RelatePolicy]

We urge @10DowningStreet to commit to the Domestic Abuse Bill as soon as parliament returns and increase funding to support victims and prevent abuse. Relate counsellors see the negative impact of #domesticabuse on people and their families on a daily basis.

[Relate Policy @RelatePolicy]

Around 2 m adults experience #domesticabuse every year. Relate counsellors can help those affected, including perpetrators and we applaud @dvagame, designed by @parveenazamali and @sheffielduni to help professionals recognise and respond to #domesticabuse https://t.co/vD9flocFuP
