Resource
Reframing Adolescence and Adolescent Development
About
FrameWorks Institute created a toolkit as a resource for communicators who want to change the narrative about adolescence and adolescent development.
This online toolkit from the FrameWorks Institute draws on a multiyear, multi-method research project funded by the Funders for Adolescence Science Translation (FAST) collaborative. It includes communications resources that advocates, storytellers, researchers, journalists, and young people themselves can use to tell a new story about this time of life and the people in it.
The toolkit includes the following resources:
• Core Story of Adolescence: A short narrative with well-framed information that can be included in communications materials.
• What to do: An outline of what the public thinks about this issue and what we can do about it.
• Six strategies for reframing the conversation: A guiding document on what to emphasize, what to explain, and what to leave unsaid in our communications, with examples of reframed messages.
• Dos and don’ts: A list of key ideas to include and avoid when creating stories and messages.
• A metaphor message card: Tips on how to effectively use tested metaphors to explain key concepts from the science of development.
• A slide presentation: Key points from the Core Story, ready to drop into your own presentations.
