Stress Pile-Up Stressor: a situation for
which the family has
had little or no prior
preparation and must
be viewed as problematic
aA. (Double ABCX) pile
up of events family
hardships and prior
strains
St. Vincent de Paul Example
A young lady that is currently pregnant
and has a toddler
Internal vs. External Stressors
Internal Stressor Event
An Internal Stressor is an event that began
from within a person or from a person within
the family boundaries.
Such as: addiction, suicide, and violence
External Stressor Event
An External Stressor is an event that begins
from someone or something outside the
family.
Such as: floods, hurricanes, or terrorism
Internal v. External Stressors There is almost never one reason why a
person finds themselves in a situation such as homelessness
It is often a consequence of internal and external stressor events leading to the crisis situation. Being late for work (caring for a sick child) leads
a person to getting fired, which leads to no gas in the car to find a new job, which leads to the rent not getting paid, which leads to seeking help from a predatory lender, which leads to increased debt, which leads to losing your car to collections agencies, which leads to losing your home…the cycle is vicious.
St. Vincent De Paul is a resource for individuals to find refuge in despite the origin of their circumstances
Normative v. Non-Normative
Stressors
Defined by Boss 2002:
Normative stressor: “events that are
expected during the life course” (p. 51).
Pregnancies, deaths, marriage, aging, and
retirement are some examples.
Non-Normative Stressors: “unexpected
events, the result of some unique situation
that could not be predicted and is not likely
to be repeated” (p. 52).
St. Vincent de Paul Examples
Normative stressor example: Ms. Smith’s
story
Aging
Non-Normative stressor example: Ms.
Walker’s story
Loss of family member
Family Resiliency
Definition: the ability of the family to
develop and/or maintain healthy family
functioning and successfully adapt to
life’s challenges and risks
St. Vincent de Paul Example
We played and colored with a little girl which allowed us to get to know her mom, who told us about her job at Sonic.
She claimed that her job was nothing special but she was excited to tell us that she was an assistant manager at two different store locations.
The mom being homeless with her children is an extremely stressful situation.
She seemed to take pride in her efforts at work
She communicated well with her daughter
Boundary Ambiguity
Uncertainty about who is in or out of the
family
Creates role confusion and can
immobilize family
Affects families in crisis because of
homelessness
Boundary Ambiguity, cont.
Separation of male children older than 12
Mother who left children with family in
North Carolina
“Who is together?” vs. “Who is in the
family?”
Ambivalence
Ambivalence: uncertainty or fluctuation,
especially when caused by inability to make
a choice or by simultaneous desire to say or
do two opposite or conflicting things.
Ambivalence (psychology): the coexistence
within an individual of positive and negative
feelings toward the same person, object, or
action, simultaneously drawing him or her in
opposite directions.
St. Vincent de Paul Example
I spoke with a young woman at the shelter who was the mother of one child. As I spoke with her and her young daughter, the mother mentioned that she was done having kids. She stated that she did not want anymore. But almost immediately, she back-peddled. The mother said she would like to have another child, but not until she could create a more stable situation for her daughter and herself. The mother is experiencing ambivalence about the decision of whether or not she wants to have more children.
Coping Behaviors
Coping Process- The cognitive appraisal
of what is happening
Coping behaviors-are the actual
responses to this appraisal
Emotion-focused coping vs. Problem-
focused coping
What Do Coping Behaviors
Look Like?
Emotion focused coping:
Can be displayed in blowing off steam
Works at solving symptoms, not issue at
hand
Problem focused coping:
Focus on mastering the stressor at hand.
Resistance Resource
A resistance resource is defined as…
Available resources that are effective at
combating psychological stress and
achieving resilience
People must recognize and be willing to
seek them in order to use them to their
advantage
Ex. Student health center, walk-in/after-
hours clinics, fitness clubs, friend’s or other
family member’s house
St. Vincent de Paul is a
Resistance Resource
St. Vincent de Paul = Resistance Resource!
Shelter for the homeless
Thrift stores/Donation drop box centers
Dining Room
“Uniforms for Kids” program
Community pharmacy
Disaster relief
Palliative Behaviors
Actions or thoughts which make a person
feel more calm
Soothing behaviors
St. Vincent de Paul Example
Some of the women at the shelter
develop routines while they are there.
These routines give a sense of stability in
an otherwise unstable situation, therefore
they are palliative behaviors for them.
Victimization
Definition: the overpowering of a person or family with physical or psychological trauma that results in feelings of helplessness, distrust, and shame.
When victimization occurs within a family, a loss of pride is felt, as well as their resilience as a unit
Victimization occurs when there is a loss
Loss of power
Loss of control over what is happening
Loss of self-esteem
Victimization cont.
An offender has been effective in
victimization when the victim feels
immobilized, helpless, and has a loss of
self-respect
At SVDP, there is a woman who shared her
story of how she ended up at the shelter
and what she was doing to help pick
herself back up.
