Importance Of Resilience

Improved Essays
Resilience is when children who face adversity, are able to utilize skills to keep them imbalance. These children are able to manage these circumstances based on their interactions and environment. After reviewing Treatments that Work, I selected ARC: Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency: A Comprehensive Framework for Intervention with Complexly Traumatized Youth. This treatment uses the primary targets as building blocks for intervention. Treatment is provided to both male and females ages 2 to 21. It not only targets the victims, but also their caregivers as well. The treatment can range from 12 to 52 sessions, based on the child or family needs. The ARC treatment targets real life circumstances of clients, child’s surrounding system, treatment system, and community. This treatment is designed for those who have experienced chronic stressors including early childhood trauma and ongoing exposures to adverse life experiences. …show more content…
Once a child has experienced any sort of trauma or hardships such as abuse, poverty and neglect some of them have the ability to still develop and become successful, while others may lack those skills. Therefore promoting resilience becomes very important to those individuals who lack those skills. ARC provided treatment to children from the ages of 2 to 21. I think this is a very positive aspect of this treatment, because it allows the child to receive treatment through different stages of development. What I also noticed is that this treatment provides several sessions, which it seems to be more focused on actually making sure the child and the family receive the help that is needed and the treatment is not

    (Lucille, Kelly, & Jesse 2010) used a three tiered system to identify the children for which Wraparound Intensive Casemanagment was vital for. Like stated above there are less intense approaches, but Wraparound case management is for the children who have utilized other services and are not progressing. It is always important for us all—in this profession—to use the least restrictive treatment approach. Wraparound services are not a necessity for all children. Some children will do well in family therapy, or individual counseling.…

Since this type of therapy is so intensive and treatment fidelity is so important to positive outcomes, this study shows that the treatment can be taught to others outside of the developing group and still prove effective. However, much more research stands to be conducted in this…

    I learned how detrimental domestic violence, abuse, divorce, and substance abuse could be for a child. To further my knowledge about substance abuse, I did a research paper regarding the Drug Endangered Children (DEC) Program. Although this program was successful, in my interview with Mitchell Brown, the director of training for the DEC program, he stated that there are still many gaps and limitations that need to be addressed such as communication, teamwork, and collaboration. I hope to bridge this gap with the skills and knowledge obtained from Walden University. I want to provide intervention to drug endangered children, so they will have less of a traumatic experience when they are experiencing the change around them.…

    When it comes to children, social workers often help a child by working through the child’s trauma or altogether removing the child from a bad environment into a new safe environment. The thing about trauma is that there are no specific symptoms and everyone’s experiences are different. Today trauma can be defined as an emotional response to a disturbing or deeply distressing experience. However, our skills, attitudes, beliefs and prior experiences, as well as our support system all affect how we experience situations. There are so many factors that come into play with how we react to situations; because of this, what may be considered trauma to one person may not be to another.…

    Reviewing key assumptions of trauma-informed approaches One must review the key assumptions of trauma-informed approaches to achieve the goal of this literature review, which is to explore the extent to which trauma-informed approaches have improved children’s experiences within learning contexts. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggested four key assumptions in a trauma-informed approach (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2014). To start, it is assumed that every person working within an organization has a basic realization about trauma (SAMHSA, 2014). Trauma-informed practice is based on an essential understanding of how trauma impacts people’s lives, and as an extension, their service needs and frequency of use…

    every time I try and grow a plant it dies, and finish off with - but I'm very good at washing my car and making it shine like new. read stories of resilience i.e. Jack and the beanstalk. Adults can help in the manner we deal and speak with them. You can see children who are learning resilience when they have a minor accident - some mothers may say 'Never mind, let's give it a magic rub/kiss better' and they run off again, some rub their own leg as an adult asks them if they are alright, 'Yes' they say and run off with their friends. Some mothers rush over and make a fuss, the child responds by howling even if they only brushed against a bush, and this often becomes the learned behaviour.…

McGreavy’s (2016) identification of questions unanswered by the existing understanding of the subject allowed her to then create space and extend the conversation, through statements such as “to address these questions, I investigated”.…

    Trauma caused by different forms of abuse and violence can have a huge impact to children. Walking them through the tough situation or phase in their lives will really make the cope up with the impact of the traumatic experiences. In this case, it is asserted that Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) could be really a form of big help to children who undergone abuse.

    In order for foster youths to have a strong recovery, they should have strong rapport with their therapist, continuation of therapy after treatment, family or guardian involvement, removal from negative environments, and separation from deviant peers (Rosenthal)These may seem like simple guidelines, but in the cultural group of foster care youths, it is difficult to meet all of these requirements due to being closed off emotionally because of past abuse/neglect, inadequate treatment programs, placement instability, having no permanent support system, and being placed in a negative environment, which youths cannot control (Rosenthal). If there is more than one of these relapse factors, it is very likely for the child to start abusing again (Chenhall, R. D. 2002).…
