We archive our previous Resilience Forums and conferences as many have associated resources that are still useful, such as slides you can download, blogs you can read, films you can watch, links and suggestions for further reading.
Resilience characteristics – Friday 9 November 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
An extensive review of resilience found some of the most important characteristics of resilience. An overview of the central characteristics may be a foundation for generating alternative ways of adjusting to the challenges of hardship.
Resilience at work – Wednesday 3 October 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
A new national workplace resilience programme developed by The Resilience Space and the TUC aims to build resilience in workplaces. The session will look at what a trade union approach to resilience might look like and the important links between trade union education methods and resilience.
Collective resilience and stalking – Wednesday 5 September 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
Sam and Claudia present their experiences of ‘collective resilience’, having successfully campaigned to make ‘stalking’ a separate law. They will look at the commonality of their own experiences, extreme fear, in some cases devastating loss. This sense of unity can also include understanding the profile of stalking perpetrators, whether they be ex-intimate partner or stranger stalkers.
Building resilience in practice – Wednesday 11 July 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
Learners have an ‘acute need for positive mentoring’ and the quality of mentoring in early clinical experience can be a ‘make or break’ issue. SCPHN students enter the practice arena under the guidance and supervision of an experienced practitioner, known as a Practice Teacher .
Resilience to reoffending – Monday 18 June 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
This research challenges some common discourses on risk. It also contributes to theory building in relation to understanding protective processes, mechanisms, chain reactions and turning points which support the young men’s pathways to resilience, and resilience to reoffending.
Safeguarding and child protection – Wednesday 9 May 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
Kris Fernandes and Sarah Wilkins presented some theories and current thinking around strength-based child protection models of practice. Kris discussed how a particular model is used within a community health trust and Sarah talked about her recent work with foster carers locally using the Resilience Therapy framework.
Adolescents with complex difficulties – Tuesday 24 April 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
The In-Patient High Dependency Unit at Ticehurst Hospital works with young adolescents who have been through other psychiatric services but still remain with substantial problems. They usually attract a number of diagnoses and their difficulties have proved largely resistant to conventional treatment methods.
Mentoring and resilience – Tuesday 20 March 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
We know that having a view to the future, the ability to reflect on your life situation and negotiate services and support at times of trouble, helps to build resilience. Mentoring is frequently considered an effective route to launching these capabilities with children and young people. Can it be that simple?
Collective resilience – Wednesday 29 February 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
Is panic a useful description of human behaviour during mass emergencies, or should we instead focus on the remarkable resilience that people and communities can show in the face of threat and adversity?
Wellbeing and resilience – Monday 23 January 2012 – Brighton Resilience Forum
WARM is a new tool to help communities understand their underlying needs and capacities. It brings together a wide range of indicators to measure wellbeing (how people feel about themselves and their communities) and resilience (the capacity of people and communities to bounce back after shock or in the face of adversity).
Strength-based research – Wednesday 7 December 2011 – Brighton Resilience Forum
How we might use resilience and strengths-based research for learning and teaching about health and social inequalities and how we might develop this together, between the University and Community?
Child welfare and protection – Wednesday 9 November 2011 – Brighton Resilience Forum
An overview of the concept of resilience as incorporated into a framework for practice in child welfare and protection. Ways in which practitioners are already applying the concept in practice will be explored, drawing on research into the operationalisation of resilience.
