Title: Adolescence, risk and resilience
Description: "The teenage years, according to popular culture, are a time of experimentation and risk-taking. Certainly, all young people have a number of transitions to negotiate and some who face adversity are more vulnerable during this time than at others. Despite this, many young people do exceptionally well, even though the odds are stacked against them." "In this volume, Ann Hagell and John Coleman have gathered together internationally renowned experts to consider a range of disadvantages that may impact on adolescents, and suggest ways to help overcome them. Adolescence, Risk and Resilience is concerned with demonstrating a positive approach to young people and their circumstances, and shows how the concepts of risk and resilience are related."--BOOK JACKET.
