Looks at resiliency-oriented prevention and intervention with teenagers at risk. (Resiliency is the ability of young people to survive troubled families and destructive environments and grow up to become productive and responsible adults.)

Interviews young people who have encountered various adversities and demonstrates how professionals can assist them in recognising their own inner strengths and in rising above challenging circumstances.
