Resilience in Children, Families, and Communities: Linking Context to Practice and Policy

This unique volume covers both conceptual and practical challenges arising from attempts to apply the theoretical construct of resilience, along with existing empirical resilience findings, to the formulation of intervention strategies and social policies. It describes various approaches to the study of resilience and the challenges of extending empirical findings to intervention programs. The authors also discuss and list resilience-based intervention programs and the public policy implications involving the expansion of resilience concepts and practice to include neighborhoods, communities, and broader social contexts.
