The Pampered Chef Family Resiliency Program Lecture Series

Rand Conger
Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, University of California-Davis

Dr. Conger will present findings from an 18 year study of rural youth grown from mid-adolescence to adulthood. The talk will focus on adolescence as a time of special vulnerability in terms of substance abuse, risky sexual behaviors, and antisocial behavior and trace the course of these emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through the transition to adulthood. He will discuss personal and social resources during adolescence that promote resilience and show how they operate to foster successful, positive transitions to adulthood.
