First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new program called Resilient Student Training (ReST) to help university students with tough childhood experiences become more resilient and feel less depressed, anxious, or stressed. About 100 students from Hong Kong Polytechnic University will either join the program or be placed on a waiting list. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible, safe, and acceptable, and to gather information for a larger future study.
