Building Courage and Strength in Youth-Part #1: A Circle of Courage explains the "Circle of Courage," a needs-based model created by Drs. Larry Brendtro, Martin Brokenleg, and Steve Van Bockern, professors at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The utility of positive strength-based discipline is reaffirmed by research that underpins the "Circle of Courage" philosophy.
