At-Risk Children & Youth
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-96407-5 (ISBN)
At-Risk Children & Youth: Resiliency Explored closely examines risk factors, and what it specifically means to be ‘at-risk’. Going further beyond the standard risk factors usually considered such as drug use or dropping-out of school, this probing text explores the full range of factors and coping and healing mechanisms. The author challenges several of the views and beliefs about risk and resiliency generally held by many in child and youth services and in society. This book is extensively referenced and includes helpful figures tables to clearly present information.
Topics in At-Risk Children & Youth: Resiliency Explored include:
A breakdown of terms for risk behaviors and predictors of risk
Issues of social class and social exclusion
The impact of school difficulties on students, including truancy and poor academic standing
Strategies to build on student strengths
The quality of the entirety of the school experience as a determination of success
Strategies for intervention
A review of literature on risk and resiliency
A relational research model, including methodology and ethical issues
Description and functions of Youth Encounter Projects—and an assessment of their value
Results of risk studies over the past decade
Recommended changes in policies
At-Risk Children & Youth: Resiliency Explored is a valuable addition to the libraries of educators, students, and child and youth service providers everywhere.
