This week you have two options for your journal, please choose one of the options below:
1.) Describe a hypothetical family system with risks and potential sources of resilience. You may draw from your previous experience but please frame this as a hypothetical, in other words, rather than sharing what your uncle suffered, tell me about a hypothetical child who was abused. Using this hypothetical example, describe the sources or risk (e.g. stressed or ill parents may offer less consistent support for children), and resilience (e.g. grandparents living nearby able to share child care and provide stable attachment) in this example.
2.) Using the interview with Coach Tracy as your example, describe the sources of risk (e.g. parental neglect) and resilience (e.g. positive consistent relationship with social worker) in her story.
Try to find at least 3 risks and 3 sources of resilience in whichever example you discuss.
