WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28) Test

viability

This measure is used to assess resilience-related resources and supports in children, adolescents, and young adults. The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28) is typically administered as a self-report questionnaire to characterize perceived strengths across individual, family, and broader social contexts.

The instrument includes 28 items and generally takes about 6 minutes to complete. It is commonly used in clinical, school, and community settings to inform case formulation, identify areas of relative strength and need, and support monitoring of change over time.

Developed by Linda Liebenberg and Michael Ungar, the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28) is intended to be interpreted within the individual’s cultural and environmental context and alongside other clinical information rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
