40 Developmental Assets
LCAD is partnering with the other Nebraska Regional Prevention Centers to introduce the 40 Developmental Assets across the state. Assets are a list of research-based essential building blocks that youth and adults need to succeed. The more of these assets that youth and adults acquire, the stronger they become. LCAD offers informational sessions, publications, and videos to introduce the concept of Assets to organizations and individuals. Click here for 40 Developmental Asset information.
