Created by teens, in cooperation with the Search Institute of Minneapolis, Assets Happening Here is designed to help teenagers identify the positive things that are happening in their lives, and promote strategies for successful living. Featuring interviews with a diverse group of three teens concerning how they make use of available opportunities and mentors to achieve their goals, this fast paced, well made program is an appealing look at what is going right in teen's lives, and while it probably isn't the kind of tape that teens will pull off the shelf and watch on their own, the program and the accompanying discussion guide would make for an excellent unit in any successful living strategies curriculum. Recommended. Aud: J, H. (L. Stevens)
