While working with adolescents around their at-risk behavior, we usually concentrate on the negative behavior that we want to change. However, instead of focusing on eliminating negative behaviors, we can focus on promoting positive behaviors and work with youth to build the skills they need to become healthy and accomplished adolescents and adults. Our 2005 Resource Issue explores youth empowerment.
