Abstract
In this paper a social work approach to build family resilience is discussed. Families are considered as the units of strength or interchangeably as units of resilience. While members of the family may be individually focused it is often the collective unit - the family and its strengths or resilience that turns into an area of intervention for social work. This paper explores the concept of family resilience being an active process of endurance, self-righting and growth response to crises and challenges. With specific focus on 'Save a Family Plan', which is an international Non-Government Organisation, the authors will outline the review findings of the core strategies directed towards strengthening family empowerment. Furthermore, this paper will describe relevant programs aimed at poverty amelioration and, how through well-coordinated agendas, social workers are able to infuse resilience behaviours in families thereby creating positive change. The authors will provide empirically based evidence which affirms their belief that in assisting with coping and building resilience has led to empowerment in the families and communities in India.
