Although mental health promotion is not new to the educational system, the approach to it needs to change. Despite the adversities that students experience, many enter the system with the capacity to manage and overcome these challenges in their lives. Often, this quality of resilience is neither recognized nor fostered in schools. Educators need to consider resilience and the related research-based interventions to foster positive mental health in students.  \nStudents enter the hallways and classrooms of schools every day as willing and eager participants in the educational system. Many carry with them challenges that include poverty, family dysfunction, victimization, transiency, and marginalization, yet they overcome these adversities to achieve success and mental wellness. This quality of resilience is among an array of mental health themes that has contributed to a recent shift from mental health programming that was centered on deficit-based approaches, with preventative components, to a positive mental health approach (Joint Consortium of School Health [JCSH], 2010) . Because this change in perspective is relatively new, students’ displays of resilience often continue to be misunderstood or overlooked by school staff. Schools need to take careful stock of concepts such as resilience, and related evidence-based programming and interventions. It is the school’s responsibility to embrace best practices for the promotion of mental wellness in their students. When resilience in students is fostered, positive mental health is achieved.  \nResilience and Mental Wellness  \nResilience can be defined as an individual’s ability to grow and to be successful regardless of life’s stressors or adversities (Ungar, 2006) . Individuals could not be characterized as resilient, however, if no adversity or risk to their development were present. The risk factors for students are diverse: challenging temperaments, low socioeconomic status, limited reliable housing, failed educational experiences, limited community resources, transience, maltreatment, violence, chemical dependency, etc. (Hunter, 2012; Public Health Agency of Canada [PHAC], 2006) . These factors are also dynamic, unpredictable, and often distressing. The ordinary processes of human adaptive systems, including brain development, relationships, emotional regulation, and a desire to learn, are significant contributors to an individual’s resilience (Masten, 2001) . Other influences that contribute to resilience include external assets such as school, family, and community (Bryan, 2005) . Resilience definitions also encompass students’ capacity to steer their way to, and negotiate for, resources that will sustain their sense of well-being by meeting their needs (Ungar, 2013) . When educators understand resilience, and when supports and interventions that develop resilience are available, the students will adjust their behaviours as needed, increasing their likelihood of experiencing mental wellness.  \nA Case Study  \nThe following case study is an example of student resilience. People were drawn to Curtis (a pseudonym) from the moment they met him. He was charming and friendly, and he appeared ready to learn. He was also 11 years old, and was transferring into a new “city” school from a small community several hundred kilometers away. He had recently been placed in the care of an agency after being removed from an abusive setting. The school environment appeared to stimulate Curtis significantly. The larger the space that he was in, the louder, more aggressive,  \nand more mobile he would become. Within days after his arrival, staff labelled his behaviour as problematic. They inquired about previous interventions, and they asked about a mental health diagnosis. It is noted that resilience in students is not always understood by","cbCaikKg7zlmTI5m","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikKg7zlmTI5m","pdf",150454,"English","# Abstract\n## Resilience and Mental Wellness\n## A Case Study\n## Mental Health Programming in Schools","[{\"question\":\"Why does mental health promotion in schools need to change?\",\"answer\":\"Students face more personal challenges today, so approaches must shift toward supporting positive mental health rather than relying on older deficit-based models.\"},{\"question\":\"What is resilience in the school context?\",\"answer\":\"Resilience is the ability to grow and be successful despite life stressors or adversities, supported by individual and environmental factors.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the case study illustrate student resilience?\",\"answer\":\"Curtis’s behavior was initially labeled as problematic after moving and experiencing abuse, but after more than a year, staff recognized his growth and success as resilient outcomes shaped by internal and external factors.\"}]","Resilience and Mental Health Promotion in Schools | PDF",1792080042,15]
