Relational, cultural, individual, and governmental factors all have a strong influence over the mental well being of young people. \u003cem\u003eResilience in Action\u003c\/em\u003e looks at youth interventions with a view to fostering resilience in those living in adverse situations and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to provide a practical approach to the issue, the essays in this volume explore the components of successful interventions, encouraging the transmission of effective practices from one community to another across borders. It is organized into four sections, each dealing with a different aspect of work with at-risk youth. The first section focuses on individual health and the ways in which intervention and therapy strengthen personal resources.
