![]() ![]() This book provides instruction in how to guide students in the transition from a self-image of being "damaged goods" to one of "survivor's pride," while presenting them with alternatives to violent and delinquent behaviors to cope with their feelings and set directions for their lives. Even rebellious acts are reframed as signs of resilience in attempting to cope with debilitating circumstances. The various programs of Starr Commonwealth operate under the belief that problem youth are best helped not by undermining their self-esteem through punishment and authoritarian control but rather by identifying and building upon their resilient strengths under adverse conditions. ![]()
