Four sources of strength help resilient leaders convert negative energy to positive: personal values, personal efficacy, a sense of personal well - being, and a

The extent to which stressful events have lasting adverse effects is determined in part by the individual's biological response (mediated by both genetic predispositions and the
availability of supportive relationships that help moderate the stress response), and in part by the duration, intensity, timing, and context of the stressful experience.
Such interactions between the parent and peer contexts suggest that examining only one proximal
source of supportive relationships may not elucidate the whole story of social influences on adolescent risk behavior.
This study, espousing an ecological — transactional theoretical approach, investigates the
role of supportive relationships with parents and friends as potential protective factors against the development of adolescent sexual risk behavior.
SEL programming is based on the understanding that the best learning emerges in the

Young people learn when they feel safe and cared for, but perhaps the
