The Strong Kids programs are brief and practical social-emotional learning curricula designed for teaching social and emotional skills, promoting resilience, strengthening assets, and increasing coping skills of children and adolescents. Developed by researchers at the University of Oregon, these programs are developmentally appropriate and span the K-12 age range: Strong Start is for use with students in grades K-2, Strong Kids is designed for students in grades 3-8, and includes versions for both elementary and middle school students; Strong Teens is designed for use with high school age students, those in grades 9-12. These evidence-based programs are designed to be used for wellness promotion, prevention, and early intervention, and have a wide range of applications. The Strong Kids programs may be used effectively with high functioning, typical, and at-risk youths, as well as students with behavioral and emotionally disorders, in a variety of settings. They may also be adapted and modified for use with specific cultural groups. Use the navigation links in the left column to learn more and locate useful resources.

NEW! We are developing a new strength-based social-emotional assessment system for children and adolescents, the Social-Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scales (SEARS). We are currently working to recruit new research sites for this project.
