    • Vulnerable But Not Broken: Psychosocial Challenges and Resilience Pathways among Unaccompanied Children from Central America: This report provides an overview on the myriad issues facing unaccompanied children from Central America apprehended at the Southwest border of the United States. It highlights these children's ability to overcome challenging histories and adapt to the changes in the familial and social environment that life in the United States presents, and identifies some of the key supportive resources that can help them to do so. The psychosocial aspects of this humanitarian crisis are reviewed, outlining priority areas for future research and providing recommendations for culturally and developmentally informed practice, programs, and legal advocacy.
