Checking Your Assets

Search Institute has identified the following factors in young people's lives that make them more likely to grow up healthy, caring, and responsible. You and a teenager can assess—and talk about—the assets you both experience or lack. Complete the checklists separately, then talk about similarities, differences and ways to build new strengths.

For information on asset building and Search Institute's national Healthy Communities • Healhty Youth initiative, call 1-800-888-7828.
