"When Adversity Strikes: Maintaining Student and Teacher Wellbeing During the Covid-19 Pandemic"

Abstract

This one-year, three-wave longitudinal study adopted a positive prevention approach to test whether a school-based mental health intervention helped avert declines in student and teacher wellbeing at a P-12, co-educational school in Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (Hong Kong SAR, China). Teachers (n = 181) and students (n = 782) rated their individual levels of wellbeing at three time points (May 2021, September 2021, May 2022) and were also asked rate the levels of collective wellbeing they saw in others at the start and end of the intervention (May 2021 - May 2022).
