The National Institute on Media and the Family, a nationally recognized authority on media, was forced to close its doors at the end of 2009. After providing a great deal of useful research and resources to parents, teachers, and other caring adults for 13 years, NIMF began a new chapter in positive youth development as it transitioned to an exciting partnership with Search Institute.
Now, all of NIMF’s award-winning programs, including Say Yes to No, Switch, through-U, and MediaWise.org are available through Search Institute, where they will live on and continue helping families make positive, values-based decisions about technology and media.
- through-U and many other NIMF products are available in our catalog and our online store, www.searchinstitutestore.org. Learn more about through-U >
- Together with Iowa State University, we are planning the next generation of Switch. Stay tuned for updates on how we plan to make this amazing program accessible to a broad audience. Learn more about Switch >
