Topic 4 DQ 2 (Obj. 4.1 and 4.2)
Feb 8-12, 2024
Discuss how you can use a risk and resiliency framework to understand how people manage and experience stress. Read the GCU Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work. Explain how a Social
Worker with the Christian worldview might approach different styles of coping and adaptation in relation to stress.
No two individuals will likely manage, and experience stress the same. Nor is it likely for two individuals, unless growing up in the same household, to have the same ability to “bounce back” from a stressful situation, event, or life changing experience. For these reasons alone, being familiar with the resilience framework is advisable to social workers, especially when encountering and engaging with clients from varying cultural, religious, political, and socioeconomic backgrounds. According to Liverpool CAMHS (2023), resilience is “the process of being able to adapt when face with challenges, adversity, trauma, and stress.” More importantly, it is through the challenges one encounters that resilience is developed (Liverpool CAMHS, 2023). However, not everyone who is challenged by life’s events can manage the stress that ensues. The question yet remains: how might a Social Worker with the Christian worldview approach different styles of coping and adaptation in relation to stress?
Social Workers with a Christian worldview understand the term Christian
means: “of or belonging to the religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ… (and is) used to describe a person or action that is good, kind, helpful, etc.” (2024). Being said, it is the responsibility of the social worker to provide the same level of care in their assessment(s) of each client so (s)he can effectively “develop effective, measurable resilience-building strategies” or interventions likely to be most effective based on the result(s) of each client’s assessment (Vaughan & Henly-Shepard, 2018, p.1). Social workers can utilize the resilience framework in developing assessments for clients designed to help him/her review “their own resilience and set out (or develop) a plan of action that aims to improve resilience levels by making practical changes to their day-to-day lives”, thus building the client’s resilience “brick-by-brick” (Liverpool CAMHS, 2023).
