Can kinship carers benefit from learning about resilience?

Kinship Carers' Resource
  • Research

This is a Collaborative Action Research project using Photo-elicitation to represent kinship carers experiences of trying to use Resilient Therapy and individual interviews with children to find out what helps them through difficult times. The project seeks to address two broad research questions: Are there aspects of Resilient Therapy that we are already using in our lives as kinship carers? Does Resilient Therapy enable us to be more strategic in helping our children?

Those involved in the project have produced a Kinship Carer’s Resource.

Can resilience be measured?

Can resilience be measured? Finding adequate and good ways of measuring is important because we would like to track the effectiveness of resilient building approaches in daily practice, to make sure that people benefit from our interventions, check the quality of our work and continue developing our interventions.

Resilience To Reoffending

Resilience to re-offending: young men overcoming adversity

This practitioner research combines support work with young people who have experienced challenging times and the Resilience Framework. By examining the mechanisms that promoted resilience amongst young men who were offending, the study took the Resilience Framework and applied it to the data collected on the young men’s experiences.

Imagine conference

The Imagine Programme

The Imagine Programme brings together different research projects working across universities and their local communities. Using the new knowledge we gather, we are imagining how communities might be different. We are researching, and experimenting with different forms of community-building that ignite imagination about the future and help to build resilience.
