Abstract
A unique set of stressors affect adolescents in immigrant families, particularly for youth from low-resource contexts who were born in or spent significant time growing up in the host country. Despite the risks that immigrant youth experience, the majority will avoid mental health and behavior problems and evince positive life trajectories. Risk and resilience investigations provide a foundation from which to conceptualize preventive intervention programs for immigrant youth. Informed by a prevention science perspective, the purpose of this chapter is to (a) present a heuristic framework for intervention with immigrant youth that specifies the protective processes associated with resilience and positive development and (b) provide prevention recommendations for providers and program developers based on this framework and recent findings in the prevention implementation field.
