“…Drawing on guidance from similar studies within the resilience field (e.g. Beltman et al, 2020 ; Henderson et al, 2021 ; McGee, 2013 ; Jefferis and Theron, 2017 ; Fourie and Theron, 2012 ; Kumpulainen et al, 2016 ; Mabhoyi and Seroto, 2019 ; Bezuidenhout et al, 2018 ), we decided to adopt a phenomenological approach to this study. This research tradition emphasises the importance of “how individuals process experience in their everyday lives” ( Hesse-Biber, 2017 ; 26), making it a particularly suitable theoretical approach for this project in that it allowed us to understand how individuals and groups processed and conceptualised ‘resilience’ within a specific social setting.…”

The need to foster resilience amongst young people with intellectual disabilities is increasingly recognised within policy. Critically, understanding of the actual means by which this aspiration might be most sensitively and effectively met is considered weak. This paper reports on an exploratory case-study of a social enterprise community café – The Usual Place - that through the promotion of employability, seeks to promote resilience amongst its young ‘trainees’ with intellectual disabilities. Two research questions were set: “ how is ‘resilience’ conceptualized within the organisation” and “ what features within the organisation are significant in fostering resilience”? We identify a range of significant features associated with being able to successfully foster resilience – the need for a foundational ‘whole organisation’(settings) approach based on high levels of participation and choice; the negotiation of a constructive dynamic tension between ‘support’ and ‘exposure’; and the embedding of these actions in embodied actions and day-to-day organisational activities.

Introduction This study examined the association of four domains of human capital development (cognitive development, social and emotional development, physical health, and mental health) and exclusive and concurrent tobacco and cannabis use (TCU) among Black youth. Methods Nationally representative annual cross-sectional data for Black adolescents (12-17years; N = 9017) in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) 2015-2019 were analyzed. Analyses examined the influence of human capital factors (cognitive development, social and emotional development, physical health, and mental health) on exclusive and concurrent TCU. Results In total, 50.4% were males; prevalence of 12-month tobacco use fluctuated insignificantly between 5.6% and 7.6% across survey years. Similarly, prevalence of 12-month cannabis use remained relatively stable around 13%, with no significant linear change. Prevalence of concurrent TCU also fluctuated insignificantly between 3.5% and 5.3%. Investment in cognitive development decreased the odds of tobacco (aOR=0.58, p<0.001), cannabis (aOR=0.64, p<0.001), and concurrent tobacco and cannabis (aOR=0.58, p<0.001) use. Similarly, investment in social and emotional development reduced the odds of tobacco (aOR=086, p<0.001), cannabis (aOR=0.83, p<0.001) and concurrent tobacco and cannabis (aOR=0.81, p<0.001) use. Good physical health reduced the odds of tobacco (aOR=0.52, p<0.1), cannabis (aOR=0.63, p<0.05), and concurrent tobacco and cannabis use (aOR=0.54, p<0.05). Major depressive episode increased the likelihood of cannabis use (aOR=1.62, p<0.001). Conclusions Investment in cognitive, social, and emotional aspects of human capital development, and physical health among Black youth is protective against TCU. Efforts to sustain human capital development among Black adolescents may contribute to reducing TCU disparities. Implications This is one of few studies to examine human capital development factors and its associations with tobacco and cannabis use among Black youth. Efforts to eliminate tobacco/cannabis-related disparities among Black youth should also invest in social, emotional, cognitive, and physical health development opportunities.
