Family Protective and Recovery Factors

McCubbin et al. (1991, 1997) did not specify a comprehensive set of parenting behaviours or modes of family interactions that they explicitly deem to be indicative of resilience.

Rather, the factors they deemed important were culled from different investigations of families facing different crises. The most prominent family protective factors they identified include:
  • family celebrations
  • family time and routines
  • family traditions
The most prominent recovery factors include:
  • family integration
  • family support and esteem building
  • family recreation orientation
  • family optimism
