40 Developmental Assets Program
Jan. 25, 6:30-8 p.m.
Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers and the Geauga County YMCA will present “40 Developmental Assets for Adolescents – Building a Bridge to Success” at the Geauga County YMCA, 12460 Bass Lake Road in Chardon.
The educational program will share with parents the 40 assets identified by the Search Institute as those experiences and skills children need to achieve and ultimately be successful. These 40 research-based experiences and qualities divided into external assets and internal assets, can be identified as building blocks that influence children and ultimately help put them on the path to success. The data collected by the Search Institute was used to develop the Developmental Assets presented in this program.
Presenters for the workshop will include the Matthew Petersen, OCPS, Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers; Mary-Alice Bell, OCPSII, Ravenwood Health; and Lynn Kempf, retired OCPS, Chardon Community Action Team. The panelists will share with parents what the 40 assets include and answer questions they may have about them.
The program is free, but registration is required. Parents interested in attending may register in person at the Geauga YMCA or by phone at 440-285-7543.

Community Wellness Screenings
Feb. 24
Life Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings, is offering a preventive health event at Cardinal Middle School.
Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package, which includes four vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149, or $139 with our member discount. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete.
There are three ways to register for this event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced above $129; call toll-free 1-888-653-6441 or visit http://lifelinescreening.com/communitycircle or text the word circle to 797979.
