Abstract
Increasing poverty in some Latin American countries has transformed the structure, dynamics, and functioning of the family, affecting adolescents. Many of the continuities and discontinuities of adolescent development are associated with family processes related to macro-structural factors, such as culture, economic, health, and education policies. From an ecological-systemic perspective, poverty is considered a distal risk factor as it is associated with developmental issues of children and adolescents. Likewise, the family is a proximal factor that can play a risky or protective role to adolescent developmental trajectories and outcomes, depending on the complex interplay of the individual, family, and other ecological systems. Research in Latin America with adolescents living in adverse social and family contexts reports that many adolescents and families show good adaptation and resilience; however, a significative proportion presents mental health risk factors related to poverty and marginalization. This chapter presents the major perspectives and representative research in the field of resilience, highlighting studies with Latin American adolescents and families facing diverse situations, as well as an overview of main findings from a research project with Mexican adolescents living in family and socioeconomic adverse contexts. The implications for planning mental health actions for adolescents and families are discussed from an evidence-based preventive approach.
