I played volleyball for a rec league team that had a relationship with a local charity organization. All of us came from families who could not afford team fees or uniforms, but the organization covered those. We weren’t especially good at volleyball, but we had so much fun together. The school social worker connected me with a teen mentor when I was 12. He was 17 and a leader in student government at our local high school and I really looked up to him. The local youth center gave me a place to go after school where I felt like I belonged. There was plenty of food, there were tutors who could help us with homework, and there was always someone willing to listen if I needed to talk. Adolescents benefit from people and programs that can offer them connection, support, and resources. As a social worker who works with adolescents, you may be able to directly meet some of these essential needs within your school or agency role. However, some of the challenges adolescents face are caused by a complex network of systems in their lives and they may benefit from additional supports that address needs beyond those that you can individually meet within your organization. Thus, part of your work as a social worker may involve identifying appropriate community resources for your adolescent clients and connecting young people and their families with these resources. In this Discussion, you explore local community-based programs that impact adolescent development and consider how these programs may build resilience among adolescent clients. Describe adolescent resilience using an ecological systems lens. Be sure to refer to the Learning Resources in your description. Identify a local community-based program and provide the following information: Describe the program’s target population and primary services. Explain how the program supports healthy identity development among adolescents. Describe the strategies the program uses to teach and/or promote resiliency in adolescents. Propose an additional service that might be beneficial to add to the program and explain your reasoning.
