The BERS-2 contains 52 items that measure five aspects of a child's strength:

  • Interpersonal strength
  • Involvement with family
  • Intrapersonal strength
  • Social functioning
  • Affective strength

The BERS-2 can identify the individual behavioural and emotional strengths of children, the areas in which individual strengths need to be developed, and the goals for individual treatment plans. It can be completed by teachers, parents, or anyone knowledgeable about the child.
