The present study investigates the effect of an interactive primary prevention intervention on elementary school students’ resiliency behaviors. A total of 106 rural Missouri, USA students in an after-school program received the Forest Friends curriculum once a week for thirty minutes during their regularly-scheduled drug education session. During the month-long intervention, puppets were used to teach general life skills including resiliency and coping related to substance abuse and violence. A self-reported 18-question pre/post-test was used to assess the resiliency subscale categories of Feelings, Honesty/Trust, Respect, Pride, Choices, and Talent. Independent t-tests were used to compare the pre/post scores of the intervention. Statistically significant improvements were found in overall behaviors linked to resilience among the participants in this study, as well as several of the specific skill subscales (Choices & Talent). The current study showed that the Forest Friends curriculum is an effective intervention method for building various resiliency skills in elementary-aged youth through hands-on learning.
