RESILIENCE INTERVENTIONS FOR YOUTH IN DIVERSE POPULATIONS

Resilience Interventions for Youth in Diverse Populations details
successful programs used with children and teens in a wide range of circumstances and conditions, both clinical and non-clinical. New strength-based models clarify the core aspects of resilience and translate them into
positive social, health, educational, and emotional outcomes. Program descriptions and case examples cover diverse groups from homeless preschoolers to transgender youth to children with autism spectrum disorders, while
interventions are carried out in settings as varied as the classroom and the clinic, the parent group and the playground. This unique collection of studies moves the field toward more consistent and developmentally appropriate
application of the science of resilience building.

Among the empirically supported programs featured:

• Promoting resilience in the foster care
  system.
• Developing social competence through a resilience model.
• Building resilience in young children the Sesame Street way.
• School-based intervention for resilience
  in ADHD.
• Girls Leading Outward: promoting resilience in at-risk middle school girls.
• Resiliency in youth who have been exposed to
  violence.

Resilience Interventions for Youth in Diverse Populations is an essential resource for researchers, professionals/practitioners, and graduate students in
clinical child and school psychology, social work, educational psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, developmental psychology, and pediatrics.
