Strengths-Based Programs for Youth at Risk for Toxic Stress: A Scoping Review of Programs Targeting Mental Health, Substance Use, Parenting Skills, and Family Functioning
Overview
This scoping review summarizes 33 strengths-based programs designed for youth aged 12–24 at risk for toxic stress, focusing on mental health and substance use outcomes through improved family functioning and parenting skills. The resource is primarily intended for researchers and clinicians interested in family-centered interventions, detailing program characteristics such as behavioral frameworks and caregiver involvement. It reports positive outcomes like reduced depression and anxiety but highlights gaps in research rigor, cultural responsiveness, and applicability in low- and middle-income countries.
