Imagine…
All our young people reach adulthood with the skills, interests, assets, and healthy habits needed to live happy and productive lives—in caring relationships with other people
![Page 3: Project WEAVE Lane County](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55516ca6b4c9057e458b469f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What do we mean by prevention?
Creating conditions in families, schools, and communities that promote the wellbeing of people
Emotional and behavioral health Physical health
To prevent a problem before it happens, we must change the factors that contribute to it
![Page 4: Project WEAVE Lane County](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55516ca6b4c9057e458b469f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Problem behaviors develop over time
By age 6: aggressive behavior, difficulty managing strong feelings, weak academic skills
In elementary school: academic difficulties, poor bonding to school, rejection by peers
By early adolescence: drifting toward other troubled peers, experimentation with problem behaviors
The earlier these problems begin, the more chronic and serious they become throughout adolescence

Teachers notice when I do a good job
At least one teacher or other adult at school
really cares about me
I get many chances to join in sports, clubs, and
other activities outside class
At home, my parent or
another adult always wants me to do my
best*

Smoking 5.1 million
High school dropout 1.7 billion

Tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use and abuse
Delinquency and crime Premature or unsafe

Scientific consensus that we can prevent these problems

…and raise healthy, successful youth?
How can we reduce problems, nurture wellbeing…
![Page 10: Project WEAVE Lane County](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55516ca6b4c9057e458b469f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
By creating nurturing environments using evidence-based prevention practices
![Page 11: Project WEAVE Lane County](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55516ca6b4c9057e458b469f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Nurturing environments help raise successful youth. They: Minimize biologically and
psychologically toxic conditions
Teach, promote, and richly reinforce prosocial behavior
Monitor and set limits on opportunities to be involved in problems
Promote psychological flexibility--taking valued action even in the face of obstacles

The Good Behavior Game
Classroom teams in elementary school earn small rewards for being on-task and cooperative
Randomized trial in Baltimore Inner City Schools Had preventive effects even into young adulthood Substance abuse disorders Antisocial personality

The right support to the right people

Program $35 was saved with Good Behavior Game

The bottom line
Preventing youth problems with evidence-based approaches is more successful, cost effective, and nurturing than punitive approaches

WEAVE Lane County A CALL TO ACTION
![Page 26: Project WEAVE Lane County](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55516ca6b4c9057e458b469f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Every agency relevant to youth adopt the following resolution:
Within the significant financial constraints of the current era, it will be our policy to determine whether evidence-based prevention is in use for families and schools and to encourage the adoption, implementation, maintenance and ongoing evaluation of evidence-based practices
