Resiliency and Youth Development

A Section of DHSS Division of Behavioral Health

The Resiliency Youth Development Program

• Recognizes that adolescence is a distinct developmental stage and strategies must be tailored to the different ages, by gender and ethnic backgrounds of youth.

• Assumes that effective prevention efforts must include: reducing Risk Factors and increasing Developmental Assets, Resilient Qualities, and Protective Factors associated with adolescent problem behaviors.

• Acknowledges that young people who are problem free (e.g. alcohol/drug free) are not automatically fully prepared to take on the responsibilities of adulthood. To that end our efforts must include a focus on positive youth development strategies.

• Uses the state Adolescent Health Plan and the Developmental Assets framework as a guide for delivery of all services and programs.
