Abstract

Abstract

Mental disorders represent 45% of the global disease burden among children and adolescents aged 10-24 years old. It is crucial to develop effective interventions that can be integrated into daily school activities in order to provide convenient and accessible mental health services for students and faculty members. The study conducts a randomized controlled trial to examine universal mental health promotion among children. The current protocol aims to develop a universal resilience-focused program, which focuses on emotional regulation, coping, and problem-solving. A total of 20 classes from two primary schools in grades 4-5 in Anhui, Tianchang were randomly assigned to either the intervention or waitlist group. This training consisted of 14 weekly 40-minute sessions of manualized interventions that were compatible with regular curricular activities. It is expected that this current intervention will enhance the psychological resilience of children and evaluate the effectiveness of promoting mental health among children followed up on indicators of depressive and anxiety symptoms, psychological resilience, oppositional defiant and conduct problems by questionnaires at baseline and after the intervention.
