- Analyze resilience theory by explaining salient points of this theoretical construct.
-
- Using the different crises from your readings in the list below, choose one crisis and identify potential risk factors that could impede upon a family’s ability to be resilient if faced with this particular crisis.
Crises:
-
-
- Traumatic loss
- Collective trauma
- Serious Illness
- Disability
- Multi-stress
- Using the same crisis chosen from above, discuss strategies a human service professional could use for this particular crisis that would promote resilience within
- the family,
- the individual, and
- within a group
- In this final part, analyze how the strategies used to promote resilience are reflective of at least one construct of resilience theory. (Example: pacing reorganization of a family after the death of a loved one is reflective of the process-oriented perspective [interaction of individual with environment] of resilience theory). Responses should be supported by empirical evidence.
