I don't think I'll get the definitive answer I am looking for...!
All the best with the call.
Mem, I don't like the resiliency questionnaires that have been developed so far, because I don't think they are useful in understanding specific vulnerabilities. They don't educate what you need to focus upon. Resiliency is about community and relationships, but it is also about general cortical capability, sensory reactivity and physiological regulation. Resiliency is about the way the reward system has developed due to the quality of relational reward early on.
That said, I created my own resiliency questionnaire, based upon my understanding of the sequential development of the brain (leaning upon the work of the ChildTrauma Academy). So I asked questions that directly address relationship/community (relational reward), reliance on sensory soothing (somatosensory reward), level of physiological arousal (self regulation), and the capability of the higher mind to mitigate stress (cortical modulation).
Children have specific vulnerabilities in these areas, and so do parents. Parents need to know where their areas of strength and vulnerability are so that they can recognize where they may need support in order to better meet their children's needs and also their own.Hi Robyn,
What questions do you ask? Curious.
Sorry for replying with a quote.. I don't know how to do a simple reply. Ack.
Attached is my flyer and assessment.
I would love to hear more about how you use your own resilience measure. Is this something others could use?
