The “Building Resilience and Brighter Futures” (BUILD) is a six-week learning course designed to provide adolescents (13-16 years old), many of whom are experiencing suicidal or self-harming thoughts, with tools to deal with different life challenges, build perseverance and resilience, self-confidence and emotional skills. The BUILD course is designed with direct input of adolescents. Thus, it is based on identified needs of young people and places their voices at the forefront in all discussions. BUILD is composed of 10 learning modules. Each module is self-standing but a common thread runs through all of them. Thus, all modules can be covered during a course, or only a selected few.
