THE IMPACT ON THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN
(New techniques of intervention to strengthen parenting resilient in crisis, protecting the mental development of children traumatized and vulnerable, support services operators and educators)
After the greetings and Authorities institutional interventions such as the Mayor of Scerne Pineto L. Monticelli, Councillor for Social Policies in the Abruzzo region P. Gatti and the Deputy Mayor for health policy in the region Abruzzo L. Venturoni, has addressed the central theme of conference, "The resilience to protect children" from a definition of the concept. Resilience is the ability to absorb energy, to withstand impacts, to withstand impulsive, is the person's ability to confront and overcome the adversities of life is characterized by flexibility, mobility, flexibility, active adaptation, the ability to rebuild.
The attention of researchers focuses on two concepts: relational resilience in trauma, in the tasks of development, and resilience in traumatic and stressful.
Assuming that the fundamental interests of scholars and practitioners is the fight against mistreatment and abuse of children and adolescents, the theoretical and practical define resilience as the ability of the person to emerge strengthened by the difficulties and trauma.
integrating optics that focuses on current difficulties and risk factors, we propose a new approach to trauma that is based on individual resources, family, and to promote constructive social development paths. A key role in this sense assume the emotionally significant relationships within the various families.
They offer useful information for parents, educators, teachers, on measures that lead to "build" the process of resilience, encouraging the three factors that underlie it: the sense of internal security, self-esteem and feeling of working effectively.
clear that resilience can be actively supported as part of a learning process that aims to counter the psycho-emotional distress and social deviance.
follow the signs to promote the process of resilience (Johnson):
- to create links within a positive group,
- not to consider the crisis as insurmountable problems,
- accept the fact that change is part of life,
- closer to their goals, whereas each small achievement as a great achievement,
- act decisively,
- look for opportunities to discover aspects of themselves,
- foster a positive image of self,
- looking at things in perspective,
- maintain a positive approach.
The challenge of resilience is to propose a comprehensive approach that promotes a harmonious dialogue between the various aspects of self, where the emotional aspects are not kept separated from the cognitive cosider or foreign to the body and the social and artistic ability.
is also reminded of the importance of emotional intelligence (Goleman), which develops in cosapevolezza self and the possibility of mentalizing and do not forget to "feed" the creativity.
Ultimately, building resilience means welcoming, supporting and taking care of the person, reinforcing the positive resources.
