migrants

viability

Assessment of a child’s capacity to cope with adversity and access supportive resources can inform case formulation and intervention planning. The Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R) is a brief self-report measure intended to characterize perceived resilience-related resources in the child’s social ecology. It was developed by Michael Ungar.

The instrument includes 17 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Responses reflect the child’s perceived access to supports and opportunities across key contexts (e.g., family, peers, school, and community), which can be used to identify relative strengths and potential areas for targeted support. The Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R) is commonly used as an adjunct to clinical interviewing and other assessment data rather than as a standalone diagnostic tool.
