Book Type:
Helping professionals are called to aid individuals and communities in times of tragedy or disaster. Effective intervention and treatment often hinge on augmenting the natural resilience of those affected by adverse situations. But what is resilience How can practitioners recognize, foster, and celebrate resilience in the people that they serve.
Resilience in Action: An Information and Practice Guide examines the methods, practices, and protocols of the resilience ecological stress model (RESM). A metatheory grounded in ecological systems, RESM can be used to help individuals, families, and communities regain the ability to function after calamitous events. In this book, Roberta R. Greene and Nicole Dubus demonstrate how to apply RESM’s framework with a variety of different service users, including those battling a chronic disease, navigating workplace violence, or coping with the aftereffects of an earthquake. The book also discusses how to take a resilient approach to work with refugees, adolescent students, military families, individuals belonging to minority groups, people with disabilities, and the elderly.
Real-life case studies throughout the text further illustrate the components and implementation of RESM. These examples involve individuals who have assisted with or experienced the Oklahoma City bombing, Hurricane Katrina, and other disasters. With its practical tips and situation-specific toolboxes, this book is a must-read for practitioners on the frontlines of adversity.

Roberta R. Greene, PhD, LCSW, professor and chair in Gerontology and Social Welfare at the School of Social Work, University of Texas at Austin, and Nicole Dubus, PhD, LCSW, assistant professor in social work at San Jose State University, California, have developed a practical guide to direct service providers through the complex roles of helping survivors affected by long-term adverse conditions reclaim their lives in Resilience in Action: An Information and Practice Guide. This case study–driven guide addresses natural disasters; chronic disease; family readjustment, including refugee resettlement; and political violence. In line with the ethical responsibilities of social work practice, this book highlights work with vulnerable and marginalized populations in addressing ongoing conditions of adversity. The book indicates that critical events addressed in the text are often a chain in an ongoing series of events for the referenced group. Attention is given to the issue of prevention as it relates to the need for specialized skills when working with children and older adults.
