Question 1

Give an example of an individual, familial, and extrafamilial protective factor.

Accepted Answer

An example of an individual protective factor could be a person's resilience and ability to cope with stress and adversity. This could include having a positive outlook, strong problem-solving skills, and a supportive network of friends and mentors.

A familial protective factor could be a close-knit and supportive family environment, where there is open communication, trust, and a sense of belonging. This could include having parents who provide emotional support, set clear boundaries, and encourage healthy behaviors.

An extrafamilial protective factor could be involvement in community organizations or programs that provide support and resources. This could include participation in sports teams, youth groups, or mentorship programs that offer positive role models, opportunities for skill-building, and a sense of belonging outside of the family unit.

Question 2

Based on what you know about protective factors, develop a prevention program that increases the protective factors in children's lives.

Accepted Answer

One prevention program that could increase protective factors in children's lives is a mentorship program. Research has shown that having a positive adult role model can be a significant protective factor for children, especially those facing adversity. By pairing children with caring and supportive mentors, they can develop a sense of belonging, self-esteem, and resilience. The mentorship program could also provide opportunities for children to engage in positive activities, learn new skills, and receive guidance and support in navigating challenges. Additionally, the program could involve the children's families and communities to create a network of support around them. By focusing on building strong relationships and providing positive influences, this prevention program can help increase the protective factors in children's lives and ultimately reduce their risk of negative outcomes.
