Professional School Counseling, v28 n1a 2024
Upper elementary students in a Title I rural school participated in an expressive arts-based resiliency small-group intervention entitled Resilient Warriors (RWs). This mixed-methods study revealed positive changes in participating students based on teacher ratings on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. We also found four qualitative themes that emerged from student group interviews: (a) learning resiliency strategies and skills, (b) growth, (c) enjoyment and fun, and (d) future recommendations. We discuss the study implications, limitations, and future recommendations.
