Building Resilience in Children By Working With the School System

Target Audience: Child-Focused NGOs and Stakeholders

Description:This roundtable will bring together organizations focused on building resilience in children by working with educators and school systems. The discussion will aim to identify what is currently being implemented, assess the effectiveness of these initiatives, and highlight gaps in services. Additionally, the round table will explore how to integrate academic research, practical therapeutic approaches, and government-led educational initiatives to create a model that supports resilience and holistic development for children.

Goal of the Session: The goal of the session is to review a map of programs targeting educators and school systems and identify any gaps. We will then discuss the best way to set criteria to compare their reach, scope, and effectiveness as well as opportunities for collaboration. The discussion aims to create transparency, share best practices, and develop a coordinated action plan to scale up successful interventions.
