Early adolescents usually lack the ability to cope when they experience stress. If they cannot cope with such stress, they may fail to develop in a healthy manner and may develop habits harmful to their health. To enhance positive behavior a project was implemented using focus group interviews, trainings aimed at resilience resources in the groups’ adolescents. The objectives study was to identify stressors and their styles of coping; project implementation and evaluation. It is needed to support the development of the resilience resources, which are a predictor of an active coping for adolescent, specifically for the sake of their health. It is hoped that a larger scale project based on the findings of this project, will be implemented in the future. This will help to improve the generalisability of the present project and further support the usefulness of early prevention programmes for the promotion of adolescent health.
