All Families Have Strengths

To effectively support thriving among young people, it’s important to ensure that both youth and parenting adults feel heard and present in their relationships with educators and other youth-serving adults in their children’s lives. Part of that work involves considering the assumptions we have of parenting adults. What language do we use to describe them? How can deficit mindsets toward other adults impact our work with young people? By addressing our own assumptions, we can shift to a strength-based approach as we work with parenting adults and work together to help young people thrive.
