Abstract

Resilience corresponds to the coping ability that a person possesses, to the different problematic situations that could appear, without the significantly affecting of their integrity, maintaining a balance and taking care of their physical and psychological stability Kids and teenagers who have suffered violations of rights have to face problematic situations that have affected their integrity in a lesser or greater extent. Based on the diagnostic made with the kids and teenagers of “Laura Vicuña” foundation, it was possible to identify that there were low levels of resilience in some dimensions. Research shows that temperament is a key factor in the development of resilience, however, there is the possibility of increasing resilient resources by applying strategies to change the own vision and perspective of life. For this reason the project is aimed at the search for a strengthening of resilient resources with a total of 32 girls and adolescents, with an age range between 7 to 17 years old. The objective of this systematization is to identify the impact of the interventions carried out of self-confidence, independence, decision and stable life. The study started with the diagnostic data of the level of resilience applying the “Wagnild (2009) 14-item resilience scale” or “14 (RS). Interventions were made to increase the levels of self-confidence, independence, decision and perspective of a stable life. At the end of the project the same scale was applied and instruments such as the field diary were also used to triangulate the information obtained ,where the verbalizations issued by the participants during the interventions and attendance records were recorded. It is concluded that the interventios helps to increase the resilience resources in all dimensions. The dimensions that have the greatest increase were self-confidence and decision, the dimension that have a medium increase was the perspective of stable life, and the dimension with the lowest increase was independence, this low increase may be associated with absenteeism.
