Multicultural Developmental Experiences : Implications for Resilience in Transitional Age Youth - 14/12/17
, Gabriela Livas Stein, PhD bRésumé |
Transitional age youth were born into a world that is becomingly increasingly diverse.

Decades of research demonstrate that cultural assets can serve as risk-reducing and resilience-enhancing mechanisms among minority and immigrant youth. Cultural assets include the development of a healthy ethnic-racial identity and maintenance of cultural values. Practitioners should assess for culturally relevant stressors and incorporate cultural assets such as ethnic-racial identity and cultural values to support the mental health of these youth.
