Abstract

Psychosocial well-being, including emotional resilience and support from adults and peers, is central to adolescents鈥� healthy transitions to adulthood. GAGE findings highlight the vulnerability of young people in Jordan and suggest there is considerable scope for government and humanitarian programming to do more to foster the good mental health that underpins young people鈥檚 confidence and self-reliance and the social connections that foster appreciation for diversity and a sense of belonging.
