Abstract
ABSTRACT Although the families of adolescents with ADHD are at risk of various adverse outcomes, many experience resilience processes that support the adolescent and family members to thrive. This qualitative study explored the experience and perspectives of parents and caregivers of young adolescents in Canada with ADHD and professionals who support them regarding resilience-promoting factors. Participants identified a process of Journeying Together, which described the ways that families of young adolescents with ADHD face adversities like social stigma and limited ADHD-specific resources, navigating through them to experience positive outcomes and reinforce family relationships. The implications for social workers, mental health practitioners and other professionals who work with adolescents with ADHD and their families are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Child Care in Practice is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides an international forum for professionals working in all disciplines in the provision of children’s services, including social work, social care, health care, medicine, psychology, education, the police and probationary services, and solicitors and barristers working in the family law and youth justice sectors. The strategic aims and objectives of the journal are: • To develop the knowledge base of practitioners, managers and other professionals responsible for the delivery of professional child care services. The journal seeks to contribute to the achievement of quality services and the promotion of the highest standards. • To achieve an equity of input from all disciplines working with children. The multi-disciplinary nature of the journal reflects that the key to many successful outcomes in the child care field lies in the close co-operation between different disciplines. • To raise awareness of often-neglected issues such as marginalization of ethnic minorities and problems consequent upon poverty and disability. • To keep abreast of and continue to influence local and international child care practice in response to emerging policy. • To include the views of those who are in receipt of multi-disciplinary child care services. • To welcome submissions on promising practice developments and the findings from new research to highlight the breadth of the work of the journal’s work.
