Abstract
Resilience is an interactive process involving internal skills that should be promoted, especially in the early stages of development. This study aims to adapt and implement two themes from the European Curriculum for Resilience Promotion – RESCUR, namely, ‘Developing Communication Skills’ and ‘Establishing and Maintaining Healthy Relationships’, for deaf and hard‐of‐hearing (DHH) students. The study included 37 children and adolescents from three Portuguese regions and its impact was evaluated through the perspectives of the students, their guardians and their teachers. Each 90‐minute session was implemented weekly. The sessions followed the RESCUR curriculum structure with necessary adaptations to the mindfulness activities, stories, role‐play and worksheets. The mean scores increased from pre‐ to post‐intervention assessment on all instruments, namely, KIDSCREEN‐10 (children/adolescents), KIDSCREEN‐10 (guardians) and CYRM‐28 (teachers). The implementation of adapted curricula promoting resilience seems to be beneficial to DHH children, allowing the development of specific resilience‐associated skills, and thus enhancing health, well‐being and quality of life.
