The new site is more user friendly, with most of the items you typically use readily available on your front page after you have logged in. To make a smooth transition, our development team is creating several short video tutorials to help guide you in new procedures. These tutorials will be on each page as an option to assist you. We will also answer any and all questions via email or phone call during our office hours.

We thank you for your patience and your continued support of Fully Engaged.

Currently functional on our new website, in the upper right hand corner, we have developed a more in-depth list of resources by topical areas. To access these resources, click on Facilitators, then click on Facilitator Resources.

This will give you access to archived Newsletters, supplements and brochures, as well as a list of topical areas. Under these topical areas, you will find links to Videos, Handouts, Articles, etc. in English and Spanish.

If you have a resource that you use and feel it would be helpful to others, please send me the link. I will review and add it to our list. Email me at ccodden@gw.stcdio.org

A study published in Biological Psychology looked at how the brain responds to attachment-relevant cues present during the first stages of romantic and parental attachment. Researchers found that romantic couples demonstrated increased activations in the same parts of the brain as do parents when responding to their new infant child. Furthermore, parents have a differential neural response to their own child's cues and needs compared to their responses to another infant's cues. Interestingly, the researchers found that a male's neural responses were more attuned than a woman's to an unfamiliar infant's cues.
