ABSTRACT
The final chapter covers key themes within The “Troubled” Adolescent: Challenges and Resilience Within Family and Multicultural Contests and outlines future directions for clinical work and research. Five key themes from the book include (1) resilience and strengths, (2) screening and prevention, (3) collaboration and relationships, (4) ecological and evidence-based interventions, and (5) multicultural competence, self-reflection, and social justice. Multicultural competence is a lifelong learning process. The chapter concludes by identifying next steps and recommendations for professionals working with culturally diverse adolescents.
