This scoping review in Health Education & Behavior looks at strengths-based programs for young people aged 12–24 at risk of toxic stress which target mental health or substance use through improved family functioning and parenting skills.

However, the study also identified key gaps including a lack of culturally responsive approaches and insufficient evaluation methods. The findings support the promise of family-centred, relational interventions and call for more rigorous, inclusive research.
