• Partner with existing events or in conferences and PD to spread the word about Developmental Assets and the resource and materials.
• Use smaller groups that are more unique to a particular group or segment of our students and or educators.
• Make each activity into an individual training due to time constraints.
• Incorporate the language into our SSSP Modules, Trauma Sensitive Schools and School Mental Health Framework.
