Summary

This study tests a school-based program designed to strengthen psychological resilience and reduce bullying among high school students in Hatay, Türkiye, following the 2023 earthquakes. The program includes 10 weeks of resilience-building group sessions followed by 5 weeks focused on bullying awareness. Researchers measure changes in resilience and bullying experiences using surveys before and three months after the program, and also collect student feedback to understand what worked.
