LifeStrengths
LifeStrengths is a positive youth development program designed to help youth avoid the inherent statistics that surround their circumstances and situations.
Upon nomination, participating youth will work through the LifeStrengths curriculum and focus on two main components: LifeLessons and LifeSkills.
LifeLessons
Beginning with LifeLessons, youth evaluate four critical areas
for interpersonal growth.
Relationships
Cultivating healthy relationships is a key part of growing. Youth learn to evaluate relationships and foster those that are most valuable and safe.
Identity
Youth are taught to discover their unique skills and strengths in order to cultivate a healthy sense of self-identity and potential.
Situations
We are each living in a series of complex situations, some painful and difficult. Youth develop the skills necessary to recognize and interact with their situation.
Emotions
Learning to identify and process emotions is an important part of life. Youth are given a space to process and evaluate their emotions.
