“…While there are many excellent descriptions of well‐functioning families and the protective processes that facilitate their intrafamilial communication (e.g., Antonovsky & Sourani, ; Becvar, ; Boss, ; Walsh, ), there are far fewer maps of the diverse patterns of adaptive coping families use when interacting with other larger systems. Bronfenbrenner (; Bronfenbrenner & Morris, ) model of human ecology, for example, showed that systems such as families, schools, governments, and cultural groups react to one another in reciprocal processes of change that adapt over time (Rosa & Tudge, ).…”

While we know much about patterns of family resilience, most of our research and clinical discussion has focused on microsystemic, intrafamilial protective processes. We have far fewer maps of the bidirectional interactions between families and other systems that contribute to successful family adaptation in challenging contexts. The purpose of this article is to address this gap in knowledge and present a map of family resilience that is both systemic and contextually and culturally responsive. Seven specific patterns of family resilience are reviewed. Combined, they account for the varied adaptational patterns families use to nurture and sustain resilience. The article concludes with reflection on how we can assess family resilience and the application of this map to family therapy.

“…According to Welch and Harrist (21), family resilience involves a family's capacity to confront life's challenges by embracing them as integral parts of life. Hawley and DeHaan, as cited in Becvar (22), posit that family resilience encompasses the strategies and choices families make to foster growth and adapt in the face of stressors. The resilience theory focuses on four primary processes, as described by Walsh ( 13): (a) Altering risk, which suggests that families should shift their perceptions of the issue from guilt or blame to a focus on fostering positive interactions and improving family communication, (b) Mitigating negative reactions by reducing stress and anxiety to drive efforts towards solutions, (c) Boosting the self-esteem of all family members to enhance their self-efficacy and problemsolving skills, (d) Enhancing opportunities for families to broaden their perspectives, encouraging growth and social interaction, and bolstering "protective attributes" to empower individuals to adopt positive and productive behaviors.…”

Family resilience is recognized as a contributing factor to the development of delinquent behavior in juveniles. This study presents a survey dataset that characterizes the state of family resilience among young offenders in Java, Indonesia. The data is sorted by age, educational background, duration of confinement, and the level of family resilience. The research utilized the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire along with demographic information about the participants. A total of 96 juvenile offenders from LPKA Kutoarjo and LPKA Bandung were sampled for this research, and descriptive statistics were conducted using SPSS version 23.0. The study findings revealed that the majority of participants were 18 years old (47,90%), possessed a high school education (43,75%), had served a criminal sentence of 1-3 years (46,87%), and had very high family resilience (59.36%). Future research be able to investigate family resilience from the viewpoint of parents involved in the Juvenile Offender program. Furthermore, we expect that this research will yield favorable outcomes that can benefit various stakeholders, such as correctional facilities, families, as well as professionals in the fields of forensic, social, and family psychology.

“…Carla spoke about resilience when she shared the importance of writing her poem in English as a way to showcase the bilingual abilities of Latinas. Latinos use bilingualism as a method to resist and as a resilience strategy to preserve positive connections with their culture of origin and the one in their host country (Cabrera & Padilla, 2004: Becvar, 2013.…”

The lives of immigrants are forever changed by the many losses that they leave behind during their migration journey. Through the use of poetry, this qualitative research draws upon narrative and art-based approaches to explore the effects of cultural bereavement and migratory grief on the identity and well-being of Latinas Immigrants. Three Latina women shared their grief stories through poetry, disrupting preconceived notions of representation in Canada. Under the lens of Latino critical race theory, issues of race, culture, and gender that intersect to dictate Latinas experiences with migratory grief were analyzed. Findings yielded five theoretical concepts: The cumulation of grief, losses and stress guides process of acculturation, cultural values dictate Latinas settlement, changes in identity, struggle with oppressive systems and resistance and resilience. The result of this research will guide the reader to understand immigrants' experiences with the invisible yet powerful pain of grief associated with migration. Keywords Migratory grief, cultural bereavement, Latinas, Latin America, poetry, Immigration, losses. Migration, identity ABSTRACTO La vida de los inmigrantes cambia para siempre debido a las pérdidas que enfrentan al dejar sus lugares de origen y por las dificultades que enfrentan durante su camino migratorio. Mediante el uso de la poesía, esta investigación cualitativa usa una combinación de arte con narrativa para explorar los efectos del duelo cultural y el luto migratorio en la identidad y el bienestar de los inmigrantes Latinos. Tres mujeres Latinas compartieron sus historias de duelo a través de poemas, rechazando ideas preconcebidas acerca de la representación en Canadá. Bajo la lente de la teoría crítica de la raza Latina, se analizaron la interseccionalidad de raza, cultura y género y su influencia en dictaminar las experiencias de las mujeres Latinas con el duelo migratorio y el luto cultural. Los resultados arrojaron cinco conceptos teóricos: la acumulación de pérdidas y el estrés guían el proceso de aculturación, los valores culturales dictan el asentamiento de las Latinas, existen cambios en la identidad, hay lucha con sistemas opresión y la resistencia y la resiliencia. El resultado de esta investigación guiará al lector a comprender las experiencias de los inmigrantes con el invisible pero poderoso duelo asociado con la migración. Palabras clave Dolor migratorio, luto cultural, Latinas, América Latina, poesía, inmigración, pérdidas. Migración, duelo cultural, identidad.
