The UPRIGHT Project: Designing and Validating Resilience-Based Interventions for Promoting Mental Wellbeing in Early Adolescence

ABSTRACT

This paper describes recent work conducted in the EU project UPRIGHT regarding the design of a resilience-based intervention promoting mental wellbeing in early adolescence, including smart coaching solutions for families. In particular, the project is currently conducting a co-design phase, where the content of the training program and the digital tools to deliver it are discussed and assessed in collaboration with the schools’ stakeholders. The intervention will be validated within 5 large-scale pilot studies in Spain, Italy, Iceland, Denmark and Poland, involving about six thousand families over the next 4 years.
