HCHY List: Assets and Mental Health?

[Empowering Youth]

Hello Nancy,

As a school counselor, I see the Developmental Assets as a goal-setting
tool.  Clients refer to a concrete list for celebrating strengths, as well
as setting specific and doable goals.  Hat tip to Marilyn Peplau for
introducing me to the "Strengths Interview."

I'll be interested to read the rest of the data you gather related to this
subject.  Thanks for posing the question!

Regards

Heard any good news about youth and the adults who empower them? Let me know
and I'll tell the story on my blog --
