If you’re studying public health, health education, or working toward a career in community health then this one’s for you.

We’re enrolling participants in a paid NIH-funded study evaluating MPC: VISTA, a simulation-based professional development training for educators who teach Making Proud Choices!, an evidence-based teen pregnancy and HIV prevention program.

What makes this different from every other online training: it’s not passive. You practice teaching inside a virtual classroom, make real decisions, and get immediate feedback on what you did. The research on how people actually develop professional skill says that’s what works.

As a study participant you’ll receive:
• $300 upon completion
• The full MPC: VISTA training at no cost
• Credit on your professional record: you participated in an NIH-funded randomized trial

You’re eligible if you’re a current student or early-career educator who works with adolescents and hasn’t previously taught Making Proud Choices!

If you're heading into a classroom to teach s*x ed, there's a good chance nobody actually trained you to do it.

That's not on you. That's just how this field has always worked: you get the curriculum, maybe a manual, and then you figure it out live, in front of real students.

We built MPC: VISTA to close that gap. It's training where you practice the hardest classroom moments before they happen for real: the role play that stalls, the question you didn't see coming, the room that starts to slip. No real students, no stakes, just practice.

New post on dfusion Insights digs into why practice-based training actually builds teaching skill (a slide deck and a quiz never will), plus who's eligible for our paid research study.

🎮 We got funded! Introducing Level Up 🎉
Sports betting is everywhere — and so is the pressure it puts on teens. Up to 1 in 8 adolescents already struggle with gambling-related problems.
Thanks to a new NIH SBIR grant, we're building Level Up: a game-based learning experience that helps high schoolers understand the real risks behind the bet — through simulations, real decisions, and real consequences (in the game).
Building it smart with our partners at Cambridge Health Alliance's Division on Addiction (Harvard Medical School).
More coming soon as we build and test with real students and teachers. 🙌

Before every SocialWise interview, we train our team on one thing above all: listen more, talk less.

SocialWise is our AI-enhanced conversation agent helping autistic young adults build social and communication skills, and getting it right starts with how we listen to the people we're building it for.

Our team recently ran an interview skills training ahead of exploratory conversations with autistic young adults. Eight lessons came out of it, including why "why" is a word we try to avoid, what "navigational nudges" are, and why silence is something to sit with, not fill.

New blog post, dfusioninc.com/insights

Also: are you 18-28, autistic or neurodivergent, and willing to share your take on tech and AI? We're recruiting for 20-minute interviews to help shape a new neuro-affirming resource. DM us!

Join the SocialWise Advisory Board
SocialWise is a new AI-enhanced tool being built to help autistic young adults practice real-life communication and relationship skills — things like handling conflict, giving feedback, or navigating tricky social situations — in a low-pressure space. We're looking for autistic young adults (aged 18-28) to help shape it as it's built. Advisors will meet roughly once a month to weigh in on things like how the AI should behave, what feels authentic and affirming, and how to keep the tool safe and transparent. Early on, that might mean helping create sample scenarios; later, it means reviewing real interactions and flagging what's working (or isn't) as the tool is tested. It's a flexible, meaningful way to make sure SocialWise is actually built by and for the autistic community — and advisors receive a stipend at the end of the project. Complete the application to apply.
