DOWNLOAD EBOOKResilience is a topic that is currently receiving increased attention. In general, resilience refers to the capacity of those who, even under the most stressful circumstances, are able to cope, to rebound, and to go on and thrive. Resilient families are able to regain their balance following crises that arise as a function of either nature or nurture, and to continue to encourage and support their members as they deal with the necessary requirements for accommodation, adaptation and, ultimately, healthy survival. Handbook of Family Resilience provides a broad body of knowledge regarding the traits and patterns found to characterize resilient individuals and well-functioning families, including those with diverse structures, various ethnic backgrounds and a variety of non-traditional forms. This Handbook brings together a variety of perspectives aimed at understanding and helping to facilitate resilience in families relative to a full range of challenges.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This study employed a developmental psychopathology framework to examine the relationship between familism and depressive symptoms across relational contexts in adolescence. Familism, a core cultural value for Latinos, is characterized as a strong attachment to family, reciprocated loyalty and obligation, a subjugation of self to one's family, and maintenance of respect for parental desires and expectations. The majority of research on familism finds that it predicts fewer depressive symptoms in adolescence. However, recent findings suggest that under some circumstances familism may not be protective. The current study extends past research by examining whether maternal depressive symptoms, maternal warmth and support, and peer and teacher support moderate the relationship between familism and depressive symptoms. One hundred and seventy-six Latino adolescents (52.9% female) in 7th- 10th grades and seventy-four of their mothers participated in this study. Overall, familism was associated with fewer adolescent depressive symptoms, even in the context of maternal depressive symptoms. However, maternal warmth and support moderated the relationship between familism and adolescent depressive symptoms such that familism was only protective at high levels of maternal warmth and support. Peer and teacher support was also a moderator. Only at moderate to high levels of peer and teacher support was familism related to fewer adolescent depressive symptoms. In the context of high peer and teacher support, adolescents reported low depressive symptoms regardless of familism. Thus, familism is a multidynamic construct conferring protective effects in most contexts, but failing to be protective in some contexts."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA number of societal risks pose serious challenges to families' well-being, many of which cut across divisions of class and race. These challenges include: changes in the labor market and economy; the increasing participation of mothers in the labor force; the changing nature of family structure and the composition of households; and the increase in the number of immigrant families. Key institutions in the lives of families, including places of employment and schools, can play a significant role in fostering families' capacity to adapt to the potential challenges they face. Resilience Across Contexts: Family, Work, Culture, and Community presents papers--written by leading scholars in varied disciplines including economics, developmental and educational psychology, education, and sociology--discussing factors that influence resilience development. The authors' research focuses on emerging issues that have significant implications for policy and practice in such areas as employment and new technologies; maternal employment and family development; family structure and family life; immigration, migration, acculturation, and education of children and youth; and social and human services delivery. The book's overall goal is to take stock of what is known from research and practice on some of the challenges facing children and families for policy development and improvement of practices.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis interdisciplinary volume examines the relationship between community resilience and family resilience, identifying contributing factors on the micro-, meso-, and macro-level. Scholars and practitioners focus on how community-level policies and programs facilitate the distribution of resources, assets, and opportunities that provide valuable assistance to families who are struggling or in crisis due to economic hardship, mental illness, and the effects of natural and human made disasters. Additionally, representatives of local government and community agencies on the “front lines” of developing policies and programs to assist families provide valuable context for understanding the ways communities provide environments that encourage and nurture family resilience. Among the topics covered: How cities promote resilience from a public health perspective Family resilience following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill Resilience in women from trauma and addiction Trauma-sensitive schooling for elementary-age students Developing family resilience through community based missions Resilience and the Community will be of interest to policy-makers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to facilitate the development of evidence-based resilience practices, programs, and/or policies for those working with families at risk.
