• Resilienz-Fragebogen RS13 (inkl. Auswertung)
  30/10/2012
  In bisherigen Veröffentlichungen zur Struktur der Resilienzskala (RS) wurden durch explorative Verfahren (Faktorenanalyse) verschiedene Modelle ermittelt und überprüft. Die Autoren der Originalskala, Wagnild und Young (1993), gaben eine zweifaktorielle Struktur mit einer Unterteilung von Resilienz in »Akzeptanz des Selbst« und »Persönliche Kompetenz« an. In diesem Beitrag werden das Konstrukt Resilienz und unterschiedliche Fragebögen zur Erfassung der Resilienz kurz skizziert. Die Resilienzskala RS-25 und eine Kurzform RS-13 werden vorgestellt. Für die Entwicklung dieser Kurzversion wurden Datensätze aus einer repräsentativen Befragung der deutschen Bevölkerung (Schumacher et al. 2005) und aus unterschiedlichen klinischen Befragungen zusammengefügt. In einer konfirmatorischen Analyse zeigte die Kurzskala RS-13 einen guten Modell-Fit. Sie kann als ökonomisches Messinstrument zur Erfassung von Resilienz in der klinischen Diagnostik eingesetzt werden. Settings: Residence for Older People | Education | Workplace

• The I-am-Me-Program. Strengthening Self-worth in Kindergarten.
  08/03/2011
  

  The program is based on the concept of salutogenesis by Aaron Antonovsky. Its aim is to promote the self-worth of children and their sense of belonging within a group. A polar bear and an elephant are accompanying the children during the „health-days“. They learn together how to recognize and to use their own strengths, they exercise caring for themselves and accepting others as well as resolving conflicts non-violently. The program consists of eight modules which include two to six „health days“. Each day can be planned individually, situationally and contextually. One I-am-me-day usually takes about two hours. The program addresses children of the age between 5 and 7 years who will attend school in the upcoming two years. The program includes time tables and materials. These materials can be used and modified according to individual needs. Exercises, graphs and Photostats are prepared for use without any further qualifications needed.

• The Senior Companion Program
  07/12/2009
  The Senior Companion Program is part of Senior Corps, a network of national service programs that provide older volunteers with the opportunity to apply their life experiences to meet community needs. Because of this program, thousands of elders are able to continue living an independent life in the comfort of their own homes. Locally, the Senior Companion Program is sponsored by the city of Phoenix Human Services Department, Senior Services Division. Senior Companions are healthy older adults who help other adults and seniors live independently. They provide friendship and support services to clients who may be lonely, ill, or disabled. Each Senior Companion serves from three to eight clients, depending on the needs of each client. Services of a Senior Companion may include: • Accompanying their clients to medical appointments, the grocery store, senior or community centers or social events • Assisting their clients in obtaining needed social services and completing daily tasks • Providing short periods of relief to primary caregivers such as family members. Without the help of Senior Companions, many older adults would not be able to continue living at home and would need more expensive, less personal care. Settings: Residence for Older People

• Social Decision Making/Problem Solving Program
  18/11/2009
  The Social Decision Making/Problem Solving Program is intended to be used with all students (regular and special education) in the kindergarten to eighth grades, regardless of ability level, ethnic group and socio-economic level. The Social Decision Making Program is designed to become a strategic part of the teaching process, impacting on behavior, academic learning and the social/emotional life of the school setting. The formal lessons are most effectively taught in at least one classroom session per week (two for special education students), but the SDM/PS approach permeates teaching across several content areas. Because the Program provides a foundation of pro-social, critical thinking and life skill learning for all students, it is often a useful structure for organizing existing school programs. In many sites, social decision making has been incorporated into the school's annual plans for student learning objectives. The Social Decision Making Program contains curriculum lessons in the following areas: - Self-Control and Social Awareness - Social Decision Making Thinking - Applications to Academics and "Real Life" Problems Settings: Education
