Abstract: A qualitative study of 20 newcomer youth (12 Females, M_age =13) across four focus groups examined the Supporting Transition Resilience of Newcomer Groups intervention, a cognitive-behavioural program. Findings revealed increased self-reported social-emotional resilience, psychological well-being, and coping skills, expanding the evidence for using CBT and strength-based approaches with newcomer youth.
