Der Band arbeitet theoretische Hintergrunde, Merkmale und Leitlinien einer Caring Community (CC), also einer Gemeinschaft in einem Quartier, einer Gemeinde oder einer Region, in der Menschen fureinander sorgen und sich gegenseitig unterstutzen, auf. Es existiert eine Vielzahl von Modellen, die unter CC subsumiert werden, allerdings fehlt bisher insbesondere die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung und ein entsprechender Diskurs. Diese Lucke will der vorliegende Band schliessen und dabei neben grundsatzlichen UEberlegungen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven auch Beispiele aus der Praxis einbeziehen.

Resilienzfoerderung will die Widerstandsfahigkeit starken. Gerade fur das Jugendalter ist dies wichtig. In diesem Lebensalter werden besondere Risiken deutlich, sei es bei den jungen Menschen selbst oder in ihrer Umwelt. Es gilt, die Starken, Kompetenzen und Schutzfaktoren der Jugendlichen oder ihrer Umwelt zu unterstutzen. Der nachhaltige Effekt: seelische Gesundheit und optimale Entwicklung im Jugendalter und uber das Jugendalter hinaus. Die Leserinnen und Leser erhalten zunachst eine kurze, pragnante Orientierung zum Resilienzkonzept. Im Anschluss werden besondere Wege der psychologischen und padagogischen Praxis aufgezeigt - zur Sprache kommen verschiedene Lebenslagen und Umwelten. In den Beitragen wird exemplarisch aufgezeigt, wie resilienzorientierte Interventionen zu konzipieren sind. Insgesamt soll den Leserinnen und Lesern Mut gemacht werden, die bislang primar defizitorientierten kurativen oder korrektiven Ansatze in der Arbeit mit Jugendlichen in riskanten Lebenslagen zu uberwinden - und stattdessen starkenorientiert zu arbeiten. Ein solcher Ansatz uberwindet die Grenzen fachspezifischer Interventionen. Geschrieben fur Psychologen, Padagogen, Sozialarbeiter, Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapeuten, Schulpsychologen, Berater, Lehrer, Erzieher.
