Abstract

There have been huge concerns that a growing number of children are affected by parental substance misuse, and policy and practice increasingly recognize the need to tackle the problems that causes children of substance misusers are at risk from emotional and physical neglect, and of developing serious emotional and social problems themselves later in life. In the previous researches, adversity and stress can come in the shape of family or relationship problems, health problems, or workplace and financial worries, among others and a review of the literature on resilience provides guidelines for minimizing risks and promoting positive outcomes for children and youths. Therefore, research and practice have been focusing more and more on ‘resilience’, those aspects of the child’s life, relationships and choices that protect them against risk. Thus, the aim of this research is to examine the characteristics of child resilience related to family substance misuse to contribute toward buffering the risk of children living in the adversity family. The results recommend the relationship among family members will help to build and strengthen the capacity of resilience among the children of addicted parents. In addition beneficial of understanding and useful theoretical context of child resilience will help to clarify the resilience strategy and construct the ideal and appropriate support system for the health and wellbeing of children, their family and community as well even for the practitioners who are striving to seek for the benefit of them in various organizations.
