For Children Facing Adversity: How Youth Programs Can Promote Resilience.

Braverman, Marc T.; And Others

California Agriculture, v48 n7 p30-35 Dec 1994

Research demonstrates that children develop psychological "resilience" through the fostering of certain protective factors in their lives. Youth programs can promote development of these protective factors by helping children build attachments to adults and others and develop social competence and by providing meaningful participation in community activities.
