Abstract

The report of this Intervention Project manages to understand the systematization, elaboration, and execution of workshops aimed at the increase of resilience in adolescents between 10 and 14 years old who are part of the Children International Foundation initiatives. The “Rebuilding Project” arises when it is affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, so it is first evaluated with the "School Resilience Scale for children between 9 and 14 years old (ERE)", the level of Resilience with which the adolescents had and work on their needs. In addition, the broad experience and knowledge of the professionals that belong to the International Children Foundation allowed to conduct interviews to have a better understanding of the psychosocial, emotional, cultural, and socioeconomic problems that families face as well as the hardships that surged during the Covid-19 pandemic which challenged adolescents and their families to look for ways to cope with adverse situations for the benefit of their biopsychosocial-emotional well-being. Regarding the implementation of workshops, it was possible to abandon the model of a standard or formal education class considering the vocational training in Humanistic Psychology as a way to provide a dynamic and experimental nuance which achieved the continuous attendance of the participants in order to strengthen, develop, and reinforce resilience and the factors that affect it. To culminate with the Project, the evaluation of "Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale" was carried out, verifying if the workshops had been effective in adolescents and if their resilience ability was reinforced.
