Summary

Our study aimed to answer the question: Can a resilience-based intervention improve the psychosocial and educational outcomes of students with psychosocial difficulties? We examined the effectiveness of a resilience-based group intervention, the Resilience Builder Program® (RBP), with students in low-SES school settings to determine if this treatment improves psychosocial and educational outcomes.

Conditions

  • Psychosocial Functioning

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Resilience Builder Program

The Resilience Builder Program® group therapy will meet for one class period once a week during the semester (12 sessions). The group aims to improve resilience skills: areas such as the ability to control emotions and behavior, social skills and interactions with peers, problem-solving skills, ability to be flexible in different situations, self-esteem, and optimistic thinking. The groups involve the group leader presenting a new topic and skill, the students discussing this topic and developing strategies associated with the skill, the students practicing the skill while getting feedback from the group leader, and a period focused on self-control strategies. A letter reviewing each session will be sent home to the parent/guardian each week. Also, each child will be asked to do an assignment between weekly sessions to help him/her practice new skills.
