SUMMARY:A Vision of Youth Thriving:  Aligning External Assets with Youth Strengths and Needs
DESCRIPTION:National Training & TA Center for Child\, Youth\, & Family Mental Health \nFoundational work in Positive Youth Development (PYD) has shifted how we think about adolescence and young adulthood as a time of unique opportunity and potential rather than a time full of risk and deficits. With that orientation\, researchers and practitioners are working as a scientific and applied community to better understand thriving and the factors that support it. Stemming from a qualitative study with young people and practitioners across the country\, this presentation will highlight a vision of thriving\, including key outcomes of mental and physical health\, and the strengths and assets youth experience in themselves and the communities that support their thriving. We will discuss how practitioners and others who support young people (either personally or professionally) can use these findings and how others from the field of PYD can be asset builders for young people. We invite you to come with your own wisdom and questions. We are excited to dive in together and envision a world where every young person has the strengths and supports they need to thrive! \nRegister here>>
