Stress, Mindfulness, Meditation and Resilience

Resilience in Youths

Systematic reviews of resilience interventions for adolescents show that school-based programs, combining skills training, psychotherapy elements, physical activity, and mindfulness, can significantly increase resilience and reduce symptom risk. Effects vary by program quality and study risk of bias; voluntary participation, culturally appropriate content, and multi-session delivery improve outcomes. Scaling requires teacher training, fidelity checks, and attention to social determinants that shape resilience.
