Positive Community Norms (PCN)

We want to hear from YOU!

We invite you to participate in the Lake County Positive Community Norms (PCN) Survey!

PCNs are the shared attitudes and behaviors that support health, safety, and well-being for everyone, such as looking out for neighbors, encouraging youth, and fostering kindness.

How you can help:

  • Please share the official LCOE Facebook post announcing the survey is open with your networks.
  • Display the survey QR code at your booth during April events. (Probation, Healthy Start, and Public Health will have iPads available for survey takers.)
  • Take our Survey!

By taking this anonymous survey, you’ll help us better understand and celebrate the strengths already present in Lake County.

The survey is open to all community members, available in English and Spanish, and only takes a few minutes to complete.

Science of the Positive in Lake County

The Science of the Positive is a framework that examines how positive factors influence culture and experience. It emphasizes measuring and enhancing these positive elements, operating on the core belief that the positive is real and worth cultivating in ourselves, our families, workplaces, and communities.

At the Lake County Office of Education (LCOE), we are excited to adopt the Science of the Positive framework to foster a more positive and supportive environment. Here is a list of the 8 core principles:

  • Be Positive

  • Be Present

  • Be Perceptive

  • Be Purposeful

  • Be Perfected

  • Be Proactive

  • Be Passionate

  • Embrace the Paradoxical

By integrating these principles into our daily practices, we aim to create a culture that not only acknowledges challenges but also actively builds on the positive aspects of our community.

For a deeper understanding of the Science of the Positive, visit the Montana Institute website.
