  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Resilience Interventions for Youth in Diverse Populations

Part of the book series: The Springer Series on Human Exceptionality ((SSHE))

Abstract

The Resilience Doughnut is a practical framework that brings together research that focuses on the interaction of internal and external resources that are needed to develop personal resilience during times of stress. It is a framework which provides pathways that assist young people change their developmental trajectories towards a more resilient outcome. The application of this framework appears useful in educational and therapeutic settings and is a useful interactional and behavioural model to use with families, communities and educational facilities and with the young people themselves in building resilience. Using case studies of interventions implemented in three high schools in Sydney, Australia, the practical use of the framework is demonstrated along with some preliminary results indicating an increased benefit for young people with emerging mental health problems.
