Adolescence: Assessing and Promoting Resilience in Vulnerable Children 3

by Brigid Daniel

This practical resource for work with vulnerable adolescents shows ways of promoting resilience and encouraging pro-social behaviour. The authors discuss concerns pertinent to adolescence such as peer pressure and moral responsibility, drugs and sexual relationships, and suggest ways for practitioners to engage with and support young people who may have social or family problems. This workbook stands alone but also forms part of a set along with two other resilience resources on The Early Years and The School Years.
