- Abstract
African American female adolescents who attend inner-city public schools with inequitable social, political, and economic constraints are hindered personally, socially, and academically (Dye, Fuller, Burke, & Hughey, 2017; Ratts, 2009) and psychologically question their identity and intelligence (Fuller, Sally, Clay, & Reeves, 2016). This study examined a 10-week, one-hour group counseling program with 50 African American female adolescents in an inner-city school to determine group counseling's impact on participants' resiliency, self-efficacy, and racial identity. Results indicated that group counseling can be effective in developing racial identity and self-efficacy in African American female adolescents and heighten their awareness concerning resiliency.
