Promoting resiliency is a key focus of theStrategies for Facilitating Recoverydomain, which emphasizes strengths-based interventions to help children overcome adversity. ThePRA CFRP Study Guide 2024-2025defines resiliency as the ability to adapt and thrive despite challenges, such as bullying. Practitioners should use interventions that empower the child, reinforce self-worth, and reframe negative experiences to foster a positive self-concept.

OptionB(Reframe the child’s experience and encourage a positive self-view) is correct. The PRA guidelines advocate for cognitive reframing, where the practitioner helps the child view the bullyingexperience as a challenge they can overcome, rather than a reflection of their worth. Encouraging a positive self-view aligns with strengths-based practices, such as affirming the child’s strengths and building self-esteem.

OptionA(Encourage the child to take a self-defense class and confront the bully) is incorrect because confrontation may escalate the situation and is not a trauma-informed or resiliency-focused approach. The PRA Code of Ethics emphasizes non-violent, collaborative solutions.

OptionC(Revisit the experience and have the child explain the details) is incorrect because repeatedly recounting traumatic events without therapeutic processing can re-traumatize the child. The PRA study guide advises against dwelling on negative details without a strengths-based focus.

OptionD(Encourage the child to avoid the bully and make new friends) is incorrect because avoidance does not address the child’s emotional needs or build resiliency. While making new friends is positive, it does not tackle the underlying impact of bullying, which the PRA framework prioritizes.
