The children’s resilience programme aims to enhance the psychosocial wellbeing and protection of children. The programme recognises the key role of parents and other caregivers, teachers and community providers and seeks to equip them in the care and protection of the children in their communities. Children’s resilience programmes can be run in schools or in other community-based groups and can be integrated into the classroom curriculum or conducted as activities outside the classroom. The facilitator handbooks have been developed for facilitators, field coordinators and programme managers of the children’s resilience programme. The activities aim to help children build strength and resilience so they can cope positively with difficult life situations.
