ABSTRACT
Children and adolescents are highly vulnerable to negative mental health and wellbeing concerns, especially related to large-scale disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the increased mental health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the mental health crisis that is presenting in the lives of students, a solution is needed to support the current troubles students are facing and strengthen skills to help reduce future mental health concerns. Schools can help students build resiliency for positive mental health and life functioning during school years and for future success. Building psychological capacity prior to a disaster or significant life stressors is key for increasing future resiliency and maintaining long-term positive mental health. Social-emotional learning programs focused on positive, protective factors have been found to have beneficial effects on learning, confidence, behavior, academic performance, and mental health. These programs can be implemented through universal measures as well as targeted methods in a school setting. Focusing on features such as strengths, student-generated goals, aspects that are working in their lives, an optimistic outlook on life, and positive coping skills have been found to lead to many positive traits such as empowerment, increased self-esteem, improved well-being, lessened negative mental health symptoms, and augmented resiliency.
