Adaptation Inventory

Prompt:

Think of a time when a service, shelter placement, or resource  became unavailable unexpectedly.

Questions:

• What happened?

• How did you react?

• What strengths did you use?

• What did you learn?

• What helped you keep going?

• Who or what helped you keep going?

• What does this experience tell you about your strengths?

Goal:

Help clients recognize survival-based adaptations as evidence of resilience rather than personal failure or noncompliance.
