Foundational work in Positive Youth Development (PYD) has shifted the way that 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, which includes key outcomes of mental and physical health, and the strengths and assets youth experience in themselves and in the communities that support their thriving.
Attendees 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.
Audience: Youth-serving professionals, mental health practitioners, educators, community organization leaders, policymakers, and family advocates who support youth development and well-being.
