Growing Up Resilient -

. .

Résumé :

This book provides an approach to positive youth development and well-being, focusing on building resilience in the face of contemporary challenges. Unlike existing literature that focuses primarily on academic achievement, discipline, and traditional psychological interventions in schools, Growing Up Resilient pioneers a paradigm shift toward positive psychology-based practices. Our central goal is to empower counselors, teachers, and other professionals with evidence-based interventions that promote not only academic success but also prioritize students' mental well-being.

Innovatively blending theory and practice, each chapter features contributions from leading researchers in the field, providing a comprehensive exploration of positive psychology concepts tailored to the educational setting. By bridging the gap between academic and mental health outcomes, this book introduces a holistic approach to student development. Through compelling case studies and practical strategies, we offer actionable insights for creating positive and supportive school environments, ensuring that youth resilience becomes a cornerstone of their educational journey.
