RE: vulnerability and resilience

["Nelson, Sherry F." <NelsonS@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had a resilency question a while back that I responded to the person who requested it off the list serve. One of my colleagues works in that particular area. He suggested the following

 

The Search Institute http://www.search-institute.org/ would probably be a good resource. They have done much work regarding resielency and assets needed for resiliency. You may also want to get the book "All our Children" and check the bibliography.

Colleagues, 

 

I am looking for resources that will assist with discussion amongst therapist, counsellors and caseworkers in regard to developing resilience in clients who are in high risk situations or who have already suffered some form of abuse or neglect... any references/ research / tools appreciated

 

 

Thank you

Another movie re sexual abuse which probes the question of morality and
responsibility is "The Priest." I believe it's an Irish film. The movie also
presents issues of homosexuality.
