### **The Free Resilience Toolkit**

**Why These Tools Matter**

Foster and kinship families face unique challenges that require more than just good intentions—they require a roadmap for stability. This toolkit is designed for parent educators and agency leaders to bridge the gap between identifying trauma and building lasting resilience.

**What’s Included in Your Download:**

- **The Expanded ACEs Insight Tool:** Move beyond the standard 10 indicators. This 17-question screening includes social stressors like community violence and foster placement to provide a truer picture of a child’s experience.

- **The Protective Factors Checklist:** A practical guide to strengthening the 5 key pillars of family stability, mapped directly to the skills taught in Active Parenting’s evidence-based curricula.
- **Actionable Strategies:** Clear "Key Skill" takeaways that caregivers can implement immediately to improve emotional safety and behavior.
