Jason,

 

Please post your answers to the group as well.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be very interested in hearing what they are.

 

Thank you.

Life may not always be the party we hoped for, but as long as we're here we may as well dance.

Subject: Resilience through the life cycle

Colleagues on the Child Maltreatment Research Listserve,

The Protective Services Training Institute of Texas produces a quarterly newsletter for staff of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services that presents research and practice information relevant to their work.  The newsletter is called Protection Connection.

Our next newsletter issue will focus on "Resilience Throughout the Life Cycle" as it relates to:

* children who have experienced abuse or neglect
* children in foster care or residential treatment
* special aspects of resilience among minority children
* troubled families
* struggling single parents
* the elderly
* caregivers for older adults / persons with disabilities.

Our intent is to go beyond basic information, to convey how a CPS worker or APS worker can apply the material with clients in order to foster client resilience.

We are already well into a general literature review and web search.  However, I would appreciate your help in identifying the 1 or 2 books, articles, websites, videos, training materials, or other resources that...

* are the very best resources you know of related to our topics,
OR
* are the most up-to-date or cutting edge treatments of one of our topics that you've seen recently.


The newsletter article we will write will be at least 30 pages long, and will be available to thousands of Texas CPS, APS, Child Care Licensing, and Statewide Intake staff.  We will begin writing the article within the next two weeks. Thanks for your assistance.
