http://www.socwel.ku.edu/publications/Strengths/index.shtml This is the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension website called "NU For Families." The NU For Families website focuses on family strengths research involving more than 17,000 family members in 27 countries around the world. The site describes the qualities of strong families around the world. It has a growing number of short, sweet, and to-the-point 2-3-page articles on each of the strengths that can be used in educational programs. (Currently there are four articles on the site that people can use; 11 more will soon be added to the site, and by the end of the year, they will have a total of 27 family strengths articles on the site.) Also, the site has an American Family Strengths Inventory that takes people 8-10 minutes to fill out and gives them a good idea of the strengths that they perceive in their family, and the strengths that they would like to develop. http://familystrengths.unl.edu Each year in May, an Family Strengths International Symposium is held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This website provides details. http://www.bettertogether.org/ Bettertogether.org is an initiative of the saguaro seminar on civic engagement in America at Harvard's university Kennedy School of Government.
