Summary

Healthcare providers working with children and adolescents spend much of their training becoming experts in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disordered states, focusing on what has or may go wrong. Providers dedicate little time to understanding how to assess positive signs of wellness, such as happiness, life satisfaction, and internal strengths. This is partially because the study of youth wellness is recent, having emerged in the past 10–15 years. In that time, we have also witnessed significant advances in neuroscience, which have furthered our understanding of vital factors that influence youth wellness and development. Consequently, evidence-based wellness interventions are emerging. In contrast to wellness interventions with adult patients, most data-driven recommendations for youth currently require involvement of caregivers and/or are delivered through school-based programs.
