“Let’s start drawing resilience”. A method to actively involve social professionals in trainings

The concept of resilience is widespread within the social service culture, though how to drive it into practice with vulnerable children and families is problematic, and its integration in care plans often controversial. The paper aims at presenting a reflection on a sociodramatic drawing activity used in one-day training sessions on resilience for social practitioners in order to warm up the group (emotionally, cognitively, physically and socially) with the topic and its relevant aspects (for example risk and protective factors), and to collect the group’s culture on it to be used as a base for the whole training.
