Nurturing Resilience in Young People For nearly two decades, researchers have been analyzing the results of state, national and international surveys to learn about protective factors in the lives of youth that promote health and well being, and buffer young people from involvement in risky behaviors. Key findings will be presented and implications for programs, services and policies. Those working on behalf of young people will be better able to nurture resilience in young people.
