Save the Children’s Child and Youth Resilience Programme

Save the Children’s Child and Youth Resilience Programmes is a nonclinical psychosocial and protection methodology that focuses on children’s positive coping and resilience. Inspired by the Resilience Research Centre, Save the Children’s interpretation of resilience states that resilience is about people’s will and ability to overcome challenges and develop in a healthy and positive way in spite of difficulties. Resilience is therefore a process rather than a state of being.
