Abstract:
From an ecological perspective, resilience can be considered as the ability of a system (e.g. child, family, school) to recover and to adapt, following exposure to an adverse event, such as natural disasters, domestic violence, abuse and neglect, bullying, and others. School is the environment where children spend most of their time, which qualifies it as the right place to implement programs aimed at developing resilience. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify and systematize the empirically validated interventions from the literature, which aimed to develop the resilience of students in the school environment. Using associations between keywords such as "resilience", "school", "interventions", "strategies" we searched national and international databases for articles published starting with the year of 2014. The results showed that the intervention programs that had the greatest impact were the universal ones, which include members from school, family and community. Also, the programs have mostly focused on increasing school performance, academic success and student well being and decreasing mental health problems.
