Title: strengths based youth assessment

Hi everyone -
I thought that I would try to answer all questions in one email. Yes, there are penalties for failing to report ($1000 fine, up to 6 months in jail, loss of license.) We have the problem with all agencies - private, counseling, schools, etc. The best reporters are hospitals. I am in California, but I have yet to find somewhere where this is being enforced. THe call that remotivated me on this quest regarded a child with bruising all over him - chest, stomach, arms, backs, etc. When I called the MR, the response was, "Oh OK." When I pointed out that a child could die if he/she were continuing to be abused this way, it was "Oh."

I know that teachers are required to memorize the law, licensed persons also have to know it for boards, etc.

I appreciate the info I have received thus far, esp. the articles. Too often we hear, "oh well I did not really think it was abuse." Or, "But they are a good family." We do outreach in schools or anywhere that will have us, but, alas, it does not reach everyone.

Thanks for your help and please continue if you have more!!

Gail: I would suggest that you consider the School Success Profile which has been
used in hundreds of shools and provides an individual, grade, and school score for
risk and protective factors regarding a child's views of their peers/friends,
family, school, and neighborhood. The website is http://www.schoolsuccessprofile.

I oversee a Community Alternative to Suspension Program (CASP) and am in
need of a strengths based youth assessment that will provide the CASP Case
Manager with information on the youth's psycho-social-educational strengths
and challenges. I am not certain if there is such an assessment in
existence or if one could be pulled together from more than one source, but
if you have ANY suggestions or could refer me to a resource that might be
useful that would be GREAT!

I have been doing some searching for such an assessment and have not had
much luck. Unfortunately, this is what is holding service up at this point,
as we hope to provide some individual case management with the youth that
are enrolled in the program, but do not want to move forward until we have a
good way to assess the strengths and needs of the youth.

Anyway you can assist in this matter would be wonderful. Thanks in advance
for your time!
