Communities that Care – Social Development Strategy YouTube Video

Increasing Healthy Behaviors and Success in our Youth

The YouTube video titled "Social Development Strategy," presented by Dr. J. David Hawkins, outlines the Social Development Strategy (SDS), a framework designed to promote positive youth development by strengthening protective factors and reducing risk factors. SDS emphasizes providing young people with opportunities, skills, and recognition to foster healthy behaviors and outcomes. This approach is particularly relevant to prevention professionals as it offers evidence-based strategies for implementing interventions that enhance social bonding and reduce problem behaviors among youth.
