Library's review
The 3-5-7 Model is a child-driven practice approach to prepare children/youth, families and professionals to assist children and youth in doing the work of grieving the many losses they have experienced through traumatic family environments and numerous placements living in the child care placement
* The three (3) tasks of the model engage children and youth in clarification activities (Life Books, Loss Lines) to recognize the events and losses of their lives; integration activities (Life Books, puzzles) to assist them in building and rebuilding relationships through the attachment process; and, actualization activities to assist them in visualizing future.
* The five (5) conceptual questions support the work of the three tasks addressing the issues of identity formation, loss and grief, attachment and relationship building, and feelings of safety as they move towards belongingness and permanency with others. These questions are: Who am I? What happened to me? Where am I going? How will I get there? When will I know I belong? By answering these questions, the answer to why will reveal itself and guide the planning and decision making process.
* Seven (7) skill elements assure the work of professionals and parents to engage, listen, be truthful, validate, create safety and recognize that the work for children and youth is to resolve and heal the pain of the past. Selected Reading Questionnaire.
