Nuorten elämänkulun haasteita ja vastoinkäymisiä

• Adversity and challenges faced by young people during the life course. Perspectives on resilience in the light of the theory of sustainablewell-beingIt is important to pay attention to young people’s resources and ways to cope with adversity. Resilience plays a central role in the construction and maintenance of sustainable well-being. This article is based on life course interviews with 45 young people in upper secondary education in Finland. The analysis focuses on the challenges faced by young people and the ways they dealt with the adversities they experienced. These are analysed in the HDLB framework through the four dimensions of needs (Having, Doing, Loving, Being) (Helne & Hirvilammi 2015; 2021; 2022). We suggest that structuring young people’s challenges and the resources available to them according to the HDLB dimensions is helpful. It enables understanding the connection between adversities and the needs they generate, and identifying the resources that young people have at their disposal. This also helps professionals to tailor appropriate support for a young person when needed.Keywords: life course, resilience, adversity, resources, theory of sustainable well-being
