This qualitative study focused on understanding the lived experiences of youth with disabilities in residential a…
Supporting Preschoolers’ Mental Health and Academic Learning through the PROMEHS Program
There is compelling evidence that early school intervention programs enhance children's development of life skills, with a positive knock-on effect on their behaviors and academic outcomes. To date, most universal interventions have displayed gains in children's social-emotional competencies with a limited reduction in problem behaviors. This may depend on programs' curricula focused to a greater extent on preschoolers' social-emotional competenc…
Exposure to Intimate-Partner Violence and Resilience Trajectories of Adolescents
Despite the serious emotional and social consequences of adolescents' exposure to intimate-partner violence (IPV) and the high prevalence of this exposure, few analyses have focused on person-centered models or considered psychological IPV. Studies that address exposure to violence tend to focus on physical IPV. Therefore, in this study, we examine (across two waves) the trajectories of resilience among adolescents who have witnessed psychologica…

Social and emotional competencies as predictors of student engagement in youth
Student engagement research in university students has been scarce, despite its major positive role on performance, degree completion and mental health. Social and emotional competencies, which are currently called twenty-first-century skills, exert some impact on student engagement in youth. Since engagement is cultural-sensitive, individual (social and emotional competencies) and cross-cultural (human developmental index and unemployment rate) …

A Resilience Curriculum for Early Years and Primary Schools in Europe
About twenty percent of school children experience social, emotional and behaviour problems during the course of any given year and may need the use of mental health services.

The economic crisis which Europe is undergoing at the moment has exacerbated the risks among those already facing disadvantages su…
Substance use across adolescence
Many of the choices which impact in lifetime health, such as substance use, are made in adolescence. It becomes, therefore, important to know the factors associated to these behaviours in adolescence in different contexts of life. To analyze these factors, an explanatory model was developed using structural equation modeling. Data from 12.881 state school students from Portugal who participated in two waves of the Health Behaviours in School-aged…
