The Turning Resilience Into Brilliance for Eternity (TRIBE) Program is a prevention and early intervention program that aims to prevent or intervene in the early onset of the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) for foster and adjudicated AA male youth. The CDEP does this by increasing resiliency through skills building, identity development, peer support and mentoring, opening the aperture to higher education, and widening the access to mental health services. Utilizing an ecological approach and brain-based learning, the TRIBE CDEP is designed to address Phase 1 priority population strategy of building on community strengths and demonstrably improving the quality of mental health services by providing services that are culturally congruent, sensitive and competent. The program outcome measures will be, decrease the risks for skid row and homelessness, prison, drug addiction, educational failure, and mental illness, including Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), depression, suicide, anxiety, and reactivity. Additionally, the CDEP anticipates increases in adaptability, self-efficacy, and social connectivity.

Moving from Crisis Toward Opportunity: Framing Social Media and Youth Mental Health

By wp-admin February 20, 2026 Leave a comment

This playbook provides practical, research-based guidance for shifting the conversation about social media and adolescent mental health (for the purposes of this guide, adolescence refers to around age 10 to age 25). It draws on FrameWorks’ in-depth and ongoing framing research on how advocates, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers can move away from unproductive crisis narratives and instead use framing strategies that highlight opportunity, agency, and collective responsibility. It also offers specific guidance for speaking to parents in ways that avoid blame and shame and instead emphasize their expertise and partnership with practitioners.
