Assignment
Some researchers argue that resilience is an inborn characteristic-you have it or you do not. Others maintain that resilience can be taught. For this assignment, you will prepare a list of resiliency programs that seek to build resiliency in a particular group. A partial list of groups includes pre-school, elementary, or middle school-aged children; adolescents; trauma survivors; military families; and survivors of major illnesses or operations. In searching for a group to study, you may find other groups as well. What is important is that you choose a group that has at least three different programs aimed at building resiliency in those groups. Prepare a paper describing the programs and any research evidence of their efficacy. In your paper, be sure to address the following:
Note the definition and main principles of resiliency.
Describe the group you chose and the challenges it faces.
Describe the programs that have been developed to build resiliency in this group.
Compare and contrast the programs and outcomes.
Discuss any research that may apply to these programs.
Support your paper with at least three research articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the past 7 years and two other scholarly sources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
