Summary
It is important to discover the most effective methods for working with at-risk youth in youth development programs. This New Zealand-based study sought to discover whether the use of the Positive Youth Development (PYD) approach among youth boosts resilience and yields improved outcomes for youth who have experienced chronic abuse and neglect. It also analyzed if resilience and well-being are affected by the quantity and quality of services received.
