Summary

This research program aims to investigate the implementation and effects of a theoretical promising prevention method developed in a European research collaboration within a Comenius project (2012-2015) between 6 European universities (in Malta, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Portugal and Sweden) with the purpose of enhancing European children's resilience.

RESCUR in Sweden is a RCT study of the Resilience Curriculum (RESCUR) that is taking place in Sweden 2017-2019. The Swedish name is "Jag vill, jag kan, jag törs!". The study is performed by Junis, IOGT-NTO's Junior Association, in conjunction with researchers at Göteborg, Umeå and Stockholm Universities and is being funded by the Public Health Agency of Sweden.

Around, 1,000 children of the ages 7-12 will, through their schools and associations, or via groups in social services, be made acquainted with the material The children will learn and practice Mindfulness activities, storytelling activities, group discussions and much more, all designed to strengthen protective factors and increase their resilience. The program also involves parents taking part in the work to reinforce children's protective factors.

Based on the work with groups of children, an effectiveness study including at children aged 7-12 in school classes, with randomized and controlled pre- and post-measurements, self-rating questionnaires and group observations takes place. The program will also be implemented in a non-governmental organization and in groups in social services. The study also investigates the forms of implementation

Resilience Curriculum (RESCUR)

The method of the present project, developed by experts in Europe, concerns giving children their own self-empowerment, strengthening protective factors, and, in the long run, their resilience. In Sweden, the material has been named "Jag vill, jag kan, jag törs!". The methodology that will be further developed and evaluated in this project is called RESCUR (the resilience curriculum) aimed at increasing children's resilience, i.e., children's ability to cope with crises, changes and stressors without falling apart. The method is rooted in research on human resilience.
