At-Risk Children & Youth: Resiliency Explored
Mcelwee, Niall (Athlone Institute of Technology, Ireland)
What assistance can be provided to disadvantaged youngsters to help them conquer the many challenges they face while growing up? At-Risk Children & Youth: Resiliency Explored analyzes the results from accumulated research on the risk and resiliency of children and youth in Ireland. Author Niall McElwee explains many of the challenges faced by children, including poor literacy and numeracy skills, poverty, distrust, and other difficult issues. Practical strategies are presented to help disadvantaged children and youth to overcome societal and self-imposed barriers for improvement. A detailed review and assessment is provided on the efficacy of Ireland?s Youth Encounter Projects. This important resource focuses on what works and what does not in youth services.
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.

- A breakdown of terms for risk behaviors and predictors of risk
