PSYC 116 PZ -Risk and Resilience

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Risk and Resilience is part of the Inside/Out Program; half of the students will be from the Claremont Colleges, and half will be students who are incarcerated at CRC-Norco. The class sessions will be held at CRC-Norco each week. This course will examine issues of developmental risk and resiliency in urban settings, both locally and in a more global context. Students will study numerous relevant literatures on the central topics of the class (effects of poverty, homelessness, mental health risk factors, protective/resiliency factors in development, racial/ethnic identity, AIDS/HIV, growing up in war-torn regions, child abuse, exposure to domestic violence, etc.). Students will examine how risk factors and protective factors impact child and familial trajectories, as well as examine evidence-based interventions that focus on such vulnerable populations.
