Start from Strength: Prevention Overview (Limited Access)

This limited-access overview is designed to provide a clear introduction to the Trait-Based framework as it is used in prevention settings with youth and young adults. The content included here offers a focused look at the structure, tone, and approach of the model, including how traits, identity development, and emotional regulation are supported through group-based delivery in school-aligned and community environments. This overview is not intended to represent the full prevention curriculum or implementation, but rather to help reviewers and partners become familiar with how the framework operates in practice. There is no expectation to review all materials. The goal is simply to explore the flow of lessons, the role of reflection and assessment, and how Trait-Based supports emotional health, resilience, and early protective factors before risk behaviors become established.
