“…Additionally, the children and their parents also talked about these positive changes in the informal sessions (for more details see Simões et al, 2020). This is in line with the literature (Matsopoulos et al, 2020). However, student scores did not reflect a decrease in the SDQ total difficulties or show an increase in prosocial behaviour.…”

“…The results of a 1-year implementation of RESCUR in Malta (Cefai et al, 2018) showed gains in resilience competencies, prosocial behaviour, and learning engagement, but no changes in internalised and externalised problems. In Greece, the study focussed on parent views, with results showing that RESCUR was effective overall in promoting communication skills, self-determination skills, and healthy relationships between parents and children (Matsopoulos et al, 2020).…”

Resilience is an individual’s ability to adapt successfully to and persevere during and after significant challenges. Resilience programmes based on a socioemotional learning approach have been associated with an increase in protextive factors (e.g., prosocial competencies), improvements in physical and mental health, and a decrease in internalised and externalised symptoms. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of the RESCUR curriculum implemented in Portuguese schools on students’ academic, behavioural, and socioemotional outcomes, based on child and teacher reports. Participants included 1,084 children (53.2% male) aged 3-15 ( M = 7.24, SD = 2.31). A quasi-experimental study compared outcomes for an experimental intervention group (AIG) with a waiting list control group (WG). The results showed the RESCUR programme decreased mental health difficulties while increasing both prosocial behaviours and well-being. In addition, academic performance increased for those in preschool after implementation. Both teachers and children consistently reported positive behavioural changes in resilience-related competencies after implementing RESCUR. Our findings contribute to the recent research on the potential of RESCUR to address key socioemotional competencies and improve relevant protextive factors. Study limitations and future recommendations are addressed.

“…The results generally showed improvement on several individual and relational dimensions, in both the educational and familial contexts (Simões et al, 2020). Moreover, these improvements in the different dimensions are in line with those obtained with hearing children not only in other regions of the country as in a study by Simões et al (2021) but also in Italy (Cavioni et al, 2018) in Malta (Cefai et al, 2018) and Greece (Matsopoulos et al, 2020).…”

Resilience is an interactive process involving internal skills that should be promoted, especially in the early stages of development. This study aims to adapt and implement two themes from the European Curriculum for Resilience Promotion – RESCUR, namely, ‘Developing Communication Skills’ and ‘Establishing and Maintaining Healthy Relationships’, for deaf and hard‐of‐hearing (DHH) students. The study included 37 children and adolescents from three Portuguese regions and its impact was evaluated through the perspectives of the students, their guardians and their teachers. Each 90‐minute session was implemented weekly. The sessions followed the RESCUR curriculum structure with necessary adaptations to the mindfulness activities, stories, role‐play and worksheets. The mean scores increased from pre‐ to post‐intervention assessment on all instruments, namely, KIDSCREEN‐10 (children/adolescents), KIDSCREEN‐10 (guardians) and CYRM‐28 (teachers). The implementation of adapted curricula promoting resilience seems to be beneficial to DHH children, allowing the development of specific resilience‐associated skills, and thus enhancing health, well‐being and quality of life.

“…Theron and van Rensburg (2020) present findings from a study in the South African context, emphasizing the value of parental figures and their contribution to adolescents' resilience in both rural and urban settings. The article by Matsopoulos, Gavogiannaki, and Griva (2020) presents an innovative European resilience curriculum named RESCUR. Implemented in public school classrooms, the intervention has led to significant improvements in child outcomes.…”
