Individual and Organizational Vulnerability and Resilience Factors in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Vulnerability and resilience are concepts that have long been treated as individual and contradicting topics. In recent times, we have seen that vulnerabilities and resilience can go hand in hand and that vulnerabilities cannot be conceptualized only in simple terms because intersectionality must be considered as well as social, organizational, and systemic aspects and processes. One example is that women are more vulnerable (higher values in nearly all stress related measures) in the COVID-19 pandemic. This finding has to be analyzed from an intersectional perspective, because socio-economic factors, cultural factors, exposure to COVID-19 and the type of occupation (e.g. healthcare sector, ...
A Professional's Guide to Understanding Trauma and Loss
The purpose of this book is to provide vital information regarding loss and trauma to practicing counselors and therapists. Trauma and loss are pervasive presenting problems, many counselors and therapists possess scant understanding of trauma and loss, and little, if any, attention is paid to trauma or to loss in the graduate training of clinical psychology and counseling psychology students. The book is organized into four sections which cover: an overview of loss and trauma, key conceptual frameworks for understanding loss and trauma, review of several types of events producing trauma and loss, and interventions addressing loss and trauma. A key contribution of the book is the focus on lo...
Rapport sur l'état du volontariat dans le monde 2018
Le Rapport sur l'état du volontariat dans le monde de 2018: Le ? l qui nous relie est une publication phare des Nations Unies qui présente de nouvelles données sur le rôle du volontariat dans le renforcement de la résilience des communautés. Il constate que les communautés apprécient le volontariat car il leur permet de créer des stratégies collectives pour faire face à divers dé? s économiques, sociaux et environnementaux. Dans le même temps, à moins d’être soutenu de manière appropriée par des acteurs plus larges, le volontariat peut être exclusif et contraignant pour certains groupes. Seules, les communautés ont des capacités et des ressources limitées pour s'adapter aux risques émergents et futurs. Le rapport explore donc la façon dont les gouvernements et les acteurs du développement peuvent mieux s'engager dans le volontariat pour nourrir ses caractéristiques les plus béné? ques, tout en atténuant les risques potentiels pour les plus vulnérables. Ce faisant, le rapport apporte une contribution importante à la base de données factuelles sur les approches inclusives menées par les citoyens dans le renforcement de la capacité de résilience.
State of the World's Volunteerism Report 2018 (Arabic)
The 2018 State of the World’s Volunteerism Report: The Thread that Binds - Volunteerism and Community Resilience is a United Nations flagship publication that presents new evidence on the role of volunteerism in strengthening community resilience. It finds that communities value volunteerism because it enables them to create collective strategies for dealing with diverse economic, social and environmental challenges. At the same time, unless appropriately supported by wider actors, volunteering can be exclusive and burdensome for some groups. Alone, communities have limited capacities and resources to adapt to emerging and future risks. The report explores how governments and development actors can best engage with volunteerism to nurture its most beneficial characteristics while mitigating against potential harms to the most vulnerable. In doing so, the report is an important contribution to the evidence base on inclusive, citizen-led approaches to resilience-building.

Informe sobre el estado del voluntariado en el mundo 2018
El Informe sobre el estado del voluntariado en el mundo 2018: El lazo que nos une es una publicación insignia de las Naciones Unidas que presenta nuevos datos que describen el papel del voluntariado en el fortalecimiento de la resiliencia comunitaria. El informe revela que las comunidades valoran el voluntariado porque les permite crear estrategias colectivas para enfrentar diversos desafíos económicos, sociales y ambientales. Al mismo tiempo, y de no contar con el debido respaldo del conjunto más amplio de actores, el servicio voluntario puede resultar elitista y molesto a determinados grupos. Por sí solas, las comunidades disponen de capacidades y recursos limitados para adaptarse a los riesgos emergentes y futuros. Así, el informe estudia cuál es la mejor forma de interacción entre los gobiernos, actores de desarrollo y el voluntariado, para promover sus características más bene? ciosas y al mismo tiempo mitigar los posibles daños a los grupos más vulnerables. Con ello, el informe hace una importante contribución a la base de evidencia sobre enfoques inclusivos y liderados por la ciudadanía para la construcción de resiliencia.
