An increasing body of research from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and sociology is showing that most people - including young people - can bounce back from risks, stress, crises, and trauma and experience life success. This one-of-a-kind resource shows how to recognize, nurture, and utilize resiliency to transform the lives of children and youth, families, schools, and communities. Content highlights include: research reports on overcoming risks, stress, crises, and trauma; examples of "best practices" of implementing resiliency; and real-life stories of how individuals involved in gangs, drugs, pregnancy, or school failure were able to make positive changes and successfully overcome adversity. |
