Strength and Resilience in African American Families

Dr. Coard is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at University of North Carolina – Greensboro and a leader in the field of resilience. She has a number of publications that examine how to leverage family and community strengths to support the well-being of children. Most recently, she chaired the American Psychological Association’s Task Force on Resilience and Strength in Black Children and Adolescents. She uses her work to urge for a re-framing from risk-focused approaches to resilience-focused approaches if we are to fully support the health and well-being of African-American youth.
