RESILIENCE IS A CONCEPT THAT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR, EXPLAINING THE REASONS WHY INDIVIDUALS MAINTAIN POSITIVE ADAPT ATION DESPITE EX PERIENCING SIGNIFICANT ADVERSITIES. THE STUDY OF RESILIENCE IS CRITICAL FOR IDENTIFYING EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELL -BEING IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. RESILIENCE RESEARCH SUPPORTS THE EXISTENCE OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT PR OMOTE ADAPTATION AND PROTECT YOUTH FROM EXPERIENCING NEGATIVE OUTCOMES. THIS PAPER AIMS TO REVIEW THE MAIN MODELS THAT C ONCEPTUALIZE RESILIENCE AND TO EXPLORE THE FACTORS THAT PROMOTE AND SUSTAIN RESILIENCE IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. SEVERAL PROCESSES AT THE INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL LEVELS HAVE BEEN PROVED TO HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE ON RISK AND RESI LIENCE IN YOUTH. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESOURCE FACTORS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS THAT SUPPORT HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT WILL BE DISCUSSED.
