The technological and medical advances of the 21st century have been tempered by increasing risk to children in the form of poverty, victimization, and family dysfunction. To overcome societal
pressures, children must become skilled in navigating through turbulent times. This book gathers into one volume the latest scientific theory, clinical guidelines, and real-world interventions,
exploring the role of resilience in overcoming trauma, adversity, and abuse; measuring resilience differences between boys and girls; and giving examples of school and community
resilience-building programs and much more.
