I know this is a broad question, but do you know of any schools that study resiliance in adolesents? I am interested in preventing risky behavior and suicide in minority youth and my professor said to look at the resiliance reserach but did not know of any reserachers in that area.

If you do some key word searches on some online databases, and then sort by "most referenced" and/or author....you should get a better idea of who is publishing most in the area.

Rutgers. Dr. Oades-Sese (I'm pretty sure that's it) is studying resilience in Hispanic children and I think adolescents as well.

This is correct. She is very active in this area.

I am not sure if this would count, but Dr. Jay Livingston and his wife (I cannot remember her name!!) were/are doing a longitudinal study of kids in East Palo Alto CA (very high crime rate). I think they were looking at resiliancy/risk factors/outcome type stuff. The are at Pacific Graduate School of Psychology.

Something I found before which gives some traits that help a child become, or determine if a child will be resilent. It may give you some jumping off points.
