Youth with emotional and behavioural problems are often discarded by families, friends and educational systems. Educational systems struggle to deal with students who openly defy authority, display anti-social behaviour and for whom school is meaningless. Schools and society often pay lip service to the needs of young people. This unit examines the strengths troubled youth bring to the school system. The unit utilises research-based strategies from resilience research, positive youth development and strength based approaches to helping troubled youth. This unit is interactive and involves participants practising skills in working with challenging children and youth.
