Leadership Strategy for Resilience

The Leadership Strategy was developed as a key outcome of The Learning Partnership initiative that began in 2006, with a national conference to examine the issue of Students at Risk.  As participants discussed the factors that put 30% of Canadian children at risk and exchanged information about successful ways to intervene, one question kept surfacing:  Why do some at-risk youth defy the odds?
