    2) Are there questions or indicators that can help a practitioner assess someone's resilience across lifespan?
    Where can I find the Resilience Checklist?

    SSN replies – there are checklists in Brigid’s books -

    The International Resilience Project uses a simple checklist of 15 items that indicate resilience (Grotberg, 1997)
  1.  
    In our Resilient Parent pilot project, Comas is developing tools and resources for working with adults on resilience. After using a range of tools to help us get into dialogue with people about what the resilience domains mean to them personally, we use simple scaling tools to then get an overview of where they feel they are stronger or need to do some work on each of the domains. We still need to do more work on what works well and what doesn’t work and the pilot will not end until March ’11, when we will share what we have learned. However, scaling does seem to be a very straightforward way of assessing how people feel – the important thing is not to make assumptions about what meanings and experiences they are thinking of under each of the domains. We have chosen not to go down the route of being too rigid in defining the domains for them, the tools we use just suggest the ballpark which can prompt the person to describe their own.
