Building Emotional Resilience in Black Boys

Building Social Assets to Overcome Racism and Adversity

Beschreibung

Black boys and youth face significant risks to their physical and emotional health as a consequence of racism and poverty. Some are able to be resilient in the face of such adversity, while some boys don't have the supports to overcome these struggles. This book investigates the factors that lead some Black boys to succumb to those obstacles, while others succeed. It offers guidance on what families, schools and communities can do to increase the likelihood of emotional resilience in Black boys and youth.
