Environmental Factors That Impact Resilience

As a human services professional, it is important to understand the role that organizations play in the lives of families. Organizations can provide advocacy for families, provide socialization for children, and address important resiliency concerns such as discrimination, stigmatization, and emotional/psychological supports.

For this Assignment, please respond to the following:

• Discuss key factors in the family environment that influence the behavior of children both positively and negatively.
• Identify one organization in your local community that provides socialization programming for children and provide a brief description of their services. Then, discuss how this organization’s services promote resilience for the entire family.
• Using the organization you identified above, create a unique community program or intervention that the organization could use to promote socialization and positive behavior for children and promote family resilience.
