Workshop Description:

The Positive Youth Development (PYD) approach is gaining momentum internationally. The movement investigates the protective factors related to positive outcomes in the lives of young people, including internal and external assets, supports, and characteristics. Youth.gov provides the following definition of PYD:
An intentional, prosocial approach that engages youth within their communities, schools, organizations, peer groups, and families in a manner that is productive and constructive; recognizes, utilizes, and enhances young people’s strengths; and promotes positive outcomes for young people by providing opportunities, fostering positive relationships, and furnishing the support needed to build on their leadership strengths. The perspective emerged in the 90s and is linked with positive psychology. PYD is now a focus across the fields of psychology, education, social services, social work, public health, research, and policy across the world.
This webinar will explain the PYD approach and showcase literature about programs across the world. PYD programs frequently feature large, underrepresented cultural groups and attempt to engage the youth as stakeholders or partners in the project of improving their quality of life. PYD adopts a wider range of social, emotional, cognitive, academic, and behavioral aspects of development and is a movement away from deficit views of adolescence and the medical model of psychopathology towards an understanding of development as plasticity. Adolescent development is seen as growth, and the PYD model promotes psychosocial competence, empowerment, resilience, thriving, and optimal development.
