"To ensure that
all children have the opportunities to build resiliency--to
develop social competencies (like caring and
responsiveness), problem-solving skills, autonomy, and a
sense of purpose and future, we must also work to build
linkages between families and schools and between schools
and communities. It is only at this intersystem
level--and only through collaboration within our
communities--that we can build a broad enough, intense
enough network of protection for all children and families." -- Bonnie Benard, Fostering Resiliency in
Kids: Protective Factors in the Family, School, and
Community, 1991 |
