Understanding Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) - Adolescents

The Understanding Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) during adolescence resource provides invaluable information regarding the types of activities and experiences that shape a youth's life, development, and future health. The resource contains PCEs that can help youth be more resilient, succeed in school, and have better health outcomes. Youth who had six or seven of these PCEs had four times lower prevalence of depression and poor mental health in adulthood than those with only two or less. 

This resource was created through a partnership between Families Together, Inc., Kansas Parent Information Resource Center (KPIRC), the TASN School Mental Health Initiative (SMHI), and the Kansas Multi-Tier System of Supports and Alignment project. (Updated 2021.07)
