All 53 Community Public Health and Safety Networks across the state
received training in the McKnight model as part of their initial traiing
in the Spring, 1995.  The presenter I used was Jane Reisman who has used
this model in several places, including Tacoma's Safe Streets project.
Many of the networks used "Community Asset Mapping" in their
own communities and many requested additional training in this approach.
The emphasis, really, was on getting them to think in terms of assets in
their communities in stead of the tired "needs assesstment" model.

There is quite a large collaborative effort in place now in Seattle
(and a separate effort on the Eastside) using the Search Institute's
(Minnesota)  asset model. It is called "It's about time for Kids."
