Helping Homeless Students Build Resilience: What the School Community Can Do.

Reed-Victor, Evelyn; Pelco, Lynn E.

Journal for a Just and Caring Education, v5 n1 p51-71 Jan 1999

School communities can foster homeless students' resilience, the ability to bounce back despite difficult circumstances. Resilience can be promoted by reducing risks and stressors' effects while activating protective processes that increase the support, structure, and opportunities needed for positive adaptation. Each community member's role is discussed. (47 references) (MLH)
