Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new screening tool identifies young people (ages 10-17) who may be at risk for violence and abuse and measures their ability to cope with it. The inventory also identifies youths who are exposed to or may be experiencing signs of physical and emotional abuse, bullying, depression, fear, and distress. The Youth Risk and Resilience Inventory (YRRI) promotes early identification and intervention, empowers change, and tracks program effectiveness as young people develop more resilience. Youth respond to a simple format consisting of 54 easy-to-understand items. Specifically, 36 of the YRRI items survey risk factors in school, home, and community situations, and 18 items address internal and external resilience factors. The YRRI is research-based and statistically sound. It has been tested with abused children, general at-risk youth, children from violent homes in shelters, and youth in court-required drug treatment programs. It is a timely, helpful tool for use by school counselors, educators, psychologists, shelters, youth corrections professionals, social workers, youth program staff, and other professionals.
