Promoting Resilience in Black Children and Adolescents
Young people can be inundated with societal pressures that negatively impact their developmental process and their ability to be resilient. The effects of these pressures can be further intensified for Black children and adolescents.
In this webinar, you’ll learn about tools that practitioners at any level can use to promote resilience and well-being among Black teenagers.
Presenters Bree E. Cook, Psy.D., CFLE, and Carlene O. Fider, Ph.D., will offer an overview of current research and literature on resilience and of culturally relevant protective factors that are common in Black families and communities.
They will then provide examples of strengths-based prevention and intervention programs and tools for practitioners, and they’ll share resilience-based strategies that can help reduce health risk behaviors by building on assets in the individual, family, and community. They’ll also highlight ways in which schools, parents, and communities can provide resources for Black boys and girls.
This webinar also will address supporting resilience during a pandemic and how to increase protective factors during a pandemic.
By attending the webinar, you will be able to:
- understand and describe the processes of developing resilience;
- explain the impact of resilience on Black children and teens;
- evaluate the intersection of race and resilience; and
- apply resilience strategies to your own profession.
Approved for 1 CFLE contact hour of continuing education credit.
