Universal Preventive Resilience Intervention to Improve and Promote Mental Health for Teenagers

The operational objectives of UPRIGHT are: * to co-create (involving adolescents, families, school staff, clinicians, policy makers) an innovative resilience holistic program in schools for the promotion of mental health in youth between 12 and 14 years; * to deploy an intervention in five different pan-European regions; * to better understand the natural history of mental disorders according to the resilience level and provide evidence of specific resilience factors promoting positive mental well-being longitudinally; * to demonstrate the effectiveness and predict future impact of an intervention in terms of improvement of quality of life, mental well-being, and academic performance, and a reduction of absenteeism and bullying cases; * to transfer the programme to Europe and beyond by disseminating the results and enabling innovative action plans for mental well-being in the youth. The UPRIGHT programme´s conceptual framework is structured in four different domains including skills for coping, efficacy, social and emotional learning and mindfulness practice. The intervention was developed by an innovative co-creation process (co-design, co-production and co-customization) participating five European regions representative of the cultural and socioeconomic variability (Lower Silesian in Poland, Basque Country in Spain, Trento in Italy, Denmark and Reykjavik capitol area in Iceland).
