Activity 4.2: Protective Factors
Part 1: Having watched Bailey’s video, open the document below to learn about factors affecting resilience in youth. Make a note of which protective factors you believe apply to Bailey’s situation.
It has been shown through research that individuals differ widely in their responses to stress. Because of this, and because resilience is shaped by so many factors, the development of resilience is a personal journey. Some approaches to building resilience may be effective for one person, but might not result in success for another.
In what ways did Bailey find permanence? In what ways did she not?

Part 2: In the online discussion below, share three protective factors you think are most prominent in Bailey’s case and how you think these factors show up in the case.
