ABSTRACT

In the phenomenon of the mobility of families with children and adolescents (NNA) in the refuge, situations that affect their development are present, and even more so when the conditions of violence under which they live represent an imminent risk to their well-being. The research is qualitative, based on the methodological assumption that, in an adverse context, where psychosocial risk converges, children and adolescents develop the individual capacity to appropriate the psychosocial, cultural, spiritual, and social resources necessary for the human development, negotiating them through social interaction, not only in the family but also with the actors with whom they share their mobility situation and who favor the construction of resilience factors. This chapter starts with a theoretical reflection on risk vulnerability and resilience and presents the results from 162the narratives of institutional caregivers, considered as one of the main actors in interaction with the migrant population. Under a hermeneutic approach, the meaning they attribute to the process of family mobility is analyzed, together with the perception of how risks are assumed, allowing, from the socially constructed reality to approach the study of the construction of resilience of children and adolescents in social interaction and the generation, appropriation, and negotiation of resources in the context in order to face the risks that make them vulnerable.
