School Partnership Program
For existing school partners
The Resilience Project's School Program is proven to work.
At the Resilience Project, we are committed to teaching positive mental health strategies to prevent mental ill-health and build young people’s capacity to deal with adversity.
Acknowledging the challenges experienced by young people throughout the pandemic, we wanted to further understand the impact on their mental health and ensure the schools program best met the current needs of young Australians.
The University of Adelaide, led by Dr Mark Kohler, recently analysed Resilient Youth survey data that was collected from the schools that participated in The Resilience Project schools program in 2019, 2020 and 2021 (83,002 students) compared with those that did not participate (79,699 students).
(2019 vs. 2021)
TRP participants maintained consistent emotional wellbeing and life satisfaction in contrast to those that did not participate in the program
