A simple, powerful answer to the question How do you keep a positive outlook for young people when there are so many troubling issues facing them?, this guidebook teaches prevention program leaders and healthcare professionals how to implement Developmental Assets®, a research-based framework of 40 positive relationships and qualities for young people, in their organizations. Focusing on particular prevention areas that Assets can affect most, such as early sexual activity, depression, and suicidal tendencies, this booklet uses concrete tools and strategies to introduce and blend an affirmative approach for an audience that traditionally works from a strength-based approach.
