The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-R) and the Adult Resilience Measure (ARM-R) are self-report measures of social-ecological resilience and are used by researchers and practitioners worldwide. The original measures were established through a process of interviews with youth and their caregivers in countries around the world. Reflection on the obstacles youth confront, as well as possible resources called upon to navigate through and/or around these obstacles, resulted in the original version of the CYRM, which we piloted with 1,451 youth from 14 communities in 11 countries. The measure has been adapted into versions suitable for younger children (aged 5-9 years) and for adults (the Adult Resilience Measure), and persons that know the target individual (a Person Most Knowledgeable).
The CYRM/ARM are available for free for researchers, academics and front-line staff to use. We ask that you fill out a short survey so we know how the tool is being used. Once you fill out this survey, you will gain access to the measures.

Resilience, Adaptive Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice (2021)
Processes of post-war reconstruction, peacebuilding and reconciliation are partly about fostering stability and adaptive capacity across different social systems. Nevertheless, these processes have seldom been expressly discussed within a resilience framework. Similarly, although the goals of transitional justice – among them (re)establishing the rule of law, delivering justice and aiding reconciliation – implicitly encompass a resilience element, transitional justice has not been explicitly theorised as a process for building resilience in communities and societies that have suffered large-scale violence and human rights violations. The chapters in this unique volume theoretically and empirically explore the concept of resilience in diverse societies that have experienced mass violence and human rights abuses. They analyse the extent to which transitional justice processes have – and can – contribute to resilience and how, in so doing, they can foster adaptive peacebuilding. This book is available as Open Access.
