Social Work with Multicultural Youth

The face of American youth is changing. In 2000, ethnic minority youth constituted one third of the adolescent population; by mid-century, the combined ethnic minority youth population will exceed the white adolescent population. This vital book illustrates the diversity within the adolescent population and examines the factors that serve as barriers and as facilitators to development. It also identifies strengths and protective factors contributing to resilience as well as needs and risk factors. In Social Work with Multicultural Youth, you'll find accurate conceptual frameworks for understanding the experiences of ethnic youth to help you create culturally relevant interventions to promote their well-being.
