https://doi.org/10.29173/cais1880Keywords:
adolescents, resilience, information institutions, mental healthAbstract
The study explored how to support teen resilience by examining the experiences of adolescents in the U.S. and Ukraine. Semi-structured interviews with parents from the U.S. and Ukraine were used to investigate the emotional distress experienced by adolescents and the resilience strategies and resources they use. Ukrainian and U.S. caregivers’ reports share many similarities and demonstrate the importance of community institutions in supporting teens. Findings suggest that libraries can support adolescents by offering curated content and mental health assistance and by providing safe spaces (digital and physical) to obtain information and socialize with peers.
Répondre aux besoins des adolescents en matière de santé mentale au niveau individuel et communautaire
Résumé
L'étude s'est penchée sur la manière de soutenir la résilience chez les jeunes en examinant les expériences des adolescents aux États-Unis et en Ukraine. Des entretiens semi-structurés avec des parents américains et ukrainiens ont permis d'étudier la détresse émotionnelle des adolescents ainsi que les stratégies de résilience et les ressources qu'ils utilisent. Les rapports des parents ukrainiens et américains présentent de nombreuses similarités et démontrent l'importance des institutions communautaires dans le soutien aux adolescents. Les résultats suggèrent que les bibliothèques peuvent soutenir les adolescents en proposant des contenus adaptés et une assistance en matière de santé mentale et en offrant des espaces sûrs (virtuels et physiques) pour obtenir des informations et socialiser avec des pairs.
