Universal Preventive Resilience Intervention Globally implemented in schools to improve and promote mental Health for Teenagers

Project description

Shaping resilience to empower teenagers

Adolescence is a challenging period of life, encompassing various physical, mental, emotional and social risks. Over the last decade, there has been an increase in mental health disorders and risky behaviours among teenagers. There is a need to foster resilience in this age group. The EU-funded UPRIGHT project will enhance the resilience capacity of teenagers through the collaborative development of a resilience programme. This programme will involve adolescents, families and professionals in education and will be implemented in educational centres across five European countries. By equipping these target groups with the necessary tools, the programme will enable them to cope with stress and navigate challenging situations. Moreover, the programme will be tailored to the contexts of each pilot country, ensuring the provision of support for each group.

Objective

Schools provide a unique location to implement universal programs for promoting mental health and well-being. Universal Preventive Resilience Intervention Globally Implemented In Schools To Improve And Promote Mental Health For Teenagers (UPRIGHT) project aims to deploy and evaluate a holistic inclusive intervention for a whole school environment.
UPRIGHT general objective is to promote mental wellbeing and prevent mental disorders by enhancing resilience capacities in youths, through a holistic approach addressing early adolescents, families and education professionals. UPRIGHT conceptual framework is structured in four different domains (effective coping skills, self-efficacy; social emotional learning; mindfulness; positive parenting skills). Three of the domains target youths and teachers, whereas the last one is for families.
The project consists of 4 main building blocks: 1) co-creation (co-design, co-production and co-customization) of the intervention in EU regions; 2) deployment of resilience interventions; 3) process and outcome evaluation; 4) transfer learning on implementation of positive culture of mental well-being to future regional, national and pan European programs. The UPRIGHT program will be implemented in 5 pilot sites across Europe representing different regions and income countries: Poland (Lower Silesia), Spain (Basque Country), Italy (Trento), Denmark (Denmark) and Iceland (Reykjavik capitol area). Schools of the pilot regions already have committed their participation (Letter of intent included in part 4-5 of the proposal).
