PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE IN STUDENTS: THE ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS

Abstract

This paper explores the critical role of educational support systems in fostering psychological resilience among students. Psychological resilience refers to adapting to adversity, stress, and challenges, which is essential for students facing academic and personal pressures. Educational institutions play a significant role in nurturing resilience by providing psychological, emotional, and practical support.

The paper examines various aspects of these support systems, including school-based programs, teacher involvement, peer support networks, and family engagement. It highlights how these factors contribute to the development of resilience and help students overcome challenges. Through a mixed-method study involving students, teachers, counselors, and parents, the research demonstrates that educational support systems significantly enhance students' capacity to cope with stress.

The findings underscore the importance of integrating resilience-building initiatives into school curricula, involving families in the educational process, and training teachers to recognize and support students' emotional needs. These recommendations aim to foster an academic and emotional environment where students can thrive
