school, at home or with peer relationships.

The program is used as both prevention and intervention for children. It is a program that builds on the strengths of the child and
develops emotional resilience. It has been developed by a team of child educators, psychologists and welfare workers and
includes drama, puppetry, hands on activities and small group work.
