Great points Tina Marie.

I will check out the workbook, but this discussion helps validate why I've been struggling to find a resilience measure that I like to compliment the ACE screen. All the measures are either over clients heads (too clinical) or somehow invalidating or not trauma-informed to some degree.

I love the concept of empowering ourselves with an awareness of our own protective factors and strengths, but I think the struggle in finding universal screens and tools is that our strengths and protective factors are as unique as each individual...many of us have also agreed that the original 10 ACE's are lump categories that do not capture the full spectrum of trauma, so perhaps that's a piece of the unrest in finding the right resilience tools.

So, workbooks like this are one step in the right direction. It might be the perfect tool for one person out there, and for that it's priceless. Yes?
