简要总结
The research is a cluster randomized controlled trial aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of enhancing mental wellbeing in children by improving character strengths of gratitude, kindness and hope by an arts-based youth delivered intervention as compared to enhanced control of delivering mental health literacy. The intervention is to create and deliver a curriculum of teaching gratitude, kindness and hope that has been contextualized for the local community by engaging with the local youth. The curriculum will use arts-based techniques including storytelling, psychodrama and creative arts to convey the curriculum material.
Mental health research has thus far focused on mental illnesses rather than wellbeing and working with children between the ages of 12-14, there is a window of opportunity to develop the necessary life skills utilizing the character strengths and a positive psychological model to enhance the same. This work aligns itself to creating material that can be sustained at the grassroots levels that is directed towards enhancing knowledge and empowering youth to care for each other.
