“…Recently, building resiliency has been identified as a goal in the treatment of trauma by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (Gurwitch et al 2007;Taylor and Siegfried 2005). Within the therapeutic milieu, it is generally accepted that in order to bolster resilience, it is necessary to identify and build on strengths (Drapeau et al 2007;Griffin et al 2009;Leona et al 2008;Romanelli et al 2009). …”

The aim of this paper was to provide a description of the trauma experiences, trauma-related sequels, and resilience features of a sample of Canadian youth in residential care facilities, as well as to explore the impact of gender and of the number of different traumas experienced on trauma-related sequels and resilience features. A convenience sample of 53 youth aged 14 to 17 recruited from six child protection residential care units agreed to voluntarily participate in the study. They were administered the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children, and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure. Results revealed high rates of abusive and neglectful experiences in the lives of these youth. Most have experienced multiple forms of trauma. Girls were more likely to report sexual abuse and to display clinical levels of sexual concerns, as well as posttraumatic stress and dissociation symptoms. Multiple forms of trauma were related to higher clinical levels of depression, anger, posttraumatic stress, and dissociation, as well as to lower individual, relational, and community resilience features.

“…However, the literature has primarily examined the effect of parenting among children and their biological parents (Quamma & Greenberg, 1994;Taylor, 1996). Only one known study has examined the clinical impact of positive caregiving practices in a sample of youth in the child welfare system (Leon, Ragsdale, Miller, & Spacarelli, 2008), where results indicated that positive parenting predicted greater decreases in youths' negative affect over time.…”

This study employed a risk and resilience paradigm to examine the correlates of youth with and without clinically significant sexual concerns (Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children) in a child welfare sample. Participants were 158 youth in substitute care with sexual behavior problems, as well as their caregivers. A multivariate classification tree analysis yielded an overall classification rate of 88%. Youth with clinically significant sexual concerns were more likely to have been sexually abused, have a substantial number of prior placements, and be residing in residential placements. For youth without a sexual abuse history, being female and witnessing community violence was associated with sexual concerns. This study demonstrated that a range of variables interact in complex ways to predict sexual concerns symptoms.

“…For instance, according to the governmental statistics published in the United States [12,61], it is estimated that 1.8 million U.S. children may be the victims of child maltreatment every year, of which around 800,000 are cases that are actually confirmed. This data was collected from the Child Protection Services, to which we should add the cases that are not detected by these sources and/or are not reported.…”

“…In particular, it has be found that children who are the victims of sexual abuse show internalising and externalising difficulties, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, personality disorders and problems in interpersonal relations with peers [61,[106][107][108][109][110].…”
