Abstract
There has been a burgeoning interest in social work in strengths and resilience perspectives. The resilience perspective is highly consonant with social work values, but not easy to translate into practice. This paper presents a triangulated package of tools that the Department of Defence has developed for social workers to conduct resilience assessments with military families. The package comprises a theoretical model of family resilience, a standardised family resilience scale and a clinical assessment interview protocol. This package is presented as an example of how the resilience perspective can be incorporated into a particular field of social work practice.
