Sensitive Completion
The client can skip items or answer briefly. Completion should not force disclosure of adversity details.
Survival Questions for strengths-oriented coping reflection
Survival Questions is a strengths-oriented coping and resilience reflection tool for practitioners working with clients who have endured difficult circumstances. It helps capture client-reported coping strategies, resilience patterns, and survival resources so support can build from proven strengths rather than a deficit-only frame.
Try a fictional open-response reflection and review the coping/resilience summary.
