2. Our clients may be best
served by our humility and
readiness to integrate that
which is tried and true and
proven to work across time
as we develop and grow to
address current challenges
“The thing that hath been,
is that which be: and that
which is done is that
which shall be done: and
there is no thing new
under the sun”
Book of Ecclesiastes 1:9

3. Whatever our individual
practice, most of us
consider the multifactorial
nature of challenges facing
our youth, and explore
each level of bio-psycho-
social-spiritual-cultural
environmental factors
• Developmental history and life cycle
• Family and intergenerational developmental
history including previous trauma and unresolved
losses
• Individual, family and intergenerational health and
mental health history
• Relational history including attachment
• Family and community resources including
nutrition, education, housing, safety, etc.
• Family spiritual history and current beliefs
• Culture of the youth, family and environment
• Influence of transitions including displacement,
loss and trauma
• Family and community attitudes towards youth:
positive or negative predictors

16. LINC® COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE
LINC Community Resilience uses a 3-stage
process to empower the community and to
reduce long-term professional involvement:
1. The community comes together to share their
history, traditions, and current situation
(typically traumatic event, increase in problems,
or mass disaster, etc.)
2. The community selects Community Links who
lead them to establish clear goals and turn
these into small workable tasks with committed
work groups
3. The community takes over the process when
the outside professionals withdraw
