Transformational change, versus incremental self-improvement, is what is needed for today's most at-risk teens. This article draws upon many of the principles in Scott Larson and Larry Brendtro's newest book "The Resilience Revolution." There has been much written on the process of transformational change in the business sector over the past decade or so, but very little has been done in applying these proven principles to working with challenging young people. Instead, many in the human services field are focused on rehabilitation. While that sounds noble, especially in light of the current emphases on coercion and punishment, it is still inadequate when it comes to helping at-risk youth attain all that is possible for them.
