Internal working model
The early emotional and social experiences that we have help us to construct an internal working model of relationships that affects the way we relate to the external world.
![Page 9: Building Resilience in Fragile People](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062220/555b38f4d8b42afc348b5237/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Internal working model
Not all people will carry positive internal models in their minds and consequently may view the world as a hostile and threatening place and themselves as bad or worthless.

Three types of resilient individuals
Those who do not succumb to adversity in spite of their high risk status
Those who develop coping strategies in situations of chronic stress
Those who have suffered extreme trauma and who recover and prosper
Masten, A et al (1990)

Domains of ResilienceDaniel & Wassell 2002

Model of developing resilience (Grotberg, 1997)
‘I HAVE’ (external supports and resources which promote resilience)
‘I CAN’ (social and emotional competencies)
‘I AM’ (internal and personal attributes)
![Page 19: Building Resilience in Fragile People](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062220/555b38f4d8b42afc348b5237/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Resilience-Building Environment
In groups, focus on aspects of Grotberg’s model of resilience I HAVE (‘secure base’, ‘friendships’)I CAN (‘education’, talents and interests’)I AM (‘positive values’, ‘social competencies’)
For that particular aspect, think of ways in which you could promote resilience in your workplace / family etc
