Helping Youth Succeed

A Resource for Families, Teachers, and the Community

Check out this amazing resource guide, compiled by the Siskiyou County Office of Education, based on the results of the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS). It is full of wonderful tools and tips to support students with physical, mental and emotional health. The guide is based around the 40 Developmental Assests, prosocial strengths and competencies that support humans to find success and fulfillment in their relationships, areas of interest, and self-esteem. The categories of the 40 Developmental Assets, presented by The Search Institute, are: 

• Support

• Empowerment

• Boundaries and Expectations

• Constructive Use of Time

• Commitment to Learning

• Positive Values

• Social Competencies

• Positive Identity 

Through cultivation and practice of these assets, youth, families and educators will be better able to rise to the challenges presented to our youth today and stay connected with community and personal resources that uplift them and help them thrive!
