Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents Record Forms

The Resiliency Scales for Children & Adolescents™ (RSCA) is an instrument designed for the assessment of personal strengths and vulnerabilities in children and adolescents. It helps clinicians and educators gain a balanced understanding of a young individual’s psychological resources and emotional reactivity, offering insights beyond symptom-based measures.

This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates comprehensive psychological profiling and allows them to tailor interventions that enhance strengths while addressing vulnerabilities.

Benefits:

• Strength Identification: Integrates positive psychology by focusing on personal resources alongside vulnerabilities.

• Balanced Assessment: Can be used alone or with symptom-focused tools for a complete psychological profile.

• Early Detection: Identifies children at risk due to low personal resources before symptoms emerge.

• Clear Communication: Results are easy to interpret and discuss with children, parents, and teachers.

Key Features:

• Three Global Scales: Sense of Mastery (optimism, self-efficacy), Sense of Relatedness (trust, support), Emotional Reactivity (sensitivity, recovery).

• Ten Subscales: Provide detailed insights into specific resilience factors and vulnerabilities.

• Accessible Language: Written at a third-grade reading level, suitable for children with reading difficulties or special needs.
