Resilience and Risk at the Intersection of Immigration and Child Well-Being: Research Insights From the Young Scholars Program
[link removed]
For more than a decade, the Foundation for Child Development, through our Young Scholars Program (YSP), aimed to fill a gap in policy and practice-relevant research on young immigrant children by funding studies about their early education, health, and well-being.

In light of the current political context, the Foundation aims to raise awareness of the existing YSP research and the implications it has for policy and practice. Two timely reports, commissioned by the Foundation, provide a systematic review of YSP research and situate findings related to the future of young children from immigrant families into today’s socio-economic and sociopolitical climate. Both reports, authored by Dr. Lisseth Rojas-Flores, can be found in this publication, Resilience and Risk at the Intersection of Immigration and Child Well-Being: Research Insights From the Young Scholars Program ([link removed]) .

YSP research in both reports can help equip decision makers with knowledge about both protective and risk factors that influence the developmental outcomes for young children within immigrant families. The reports also highlight contextual conditions that may contribute to greater resilience among children of immigrants and present recommendations for action at the public policy, family, school, and neighborhood levels.
