“…After the shooting at Virginia Tech (VT) on April 16, 2007, student leaders started a prosocial movement within schools (McCarty, 2013). After the Chardon High School (CHS) shooting on February 27, 2012, a Community-Academic Partnership formed between Chardon Local Schools and the VT Center for Applied Behavior Systems to complement CHS mental health services with a YLRP approach (Teie et al, 2013).…”

Objective: Disasters, such as a school shooting or a global pandemic, harm psychological health and necessitate recovery. To complement adult-led disaster recovery and trauma-specific approaches, we propose a Youth-Led Resilience Promotion (YLRP) framework focusing on: (a) multitiered change, (b) resilience goals, (c) a promotion mindset, (d) youth strengths, (e) prosocial behaviors, and (f) capacity building through partnerships. The YLRP framework guided the development of a YLRP program in the aftermath of the Chardon High School shooting in Chardon, OH, which is detailed in a case study. Method: As part of a Community-Academic Partnership, 20 college student trainers delivered a multitiered, multicomponent resilience promotion intervention: universal resilience promotion to 1,070 high school students; targeted resilience promotion to 200 student leaders through workshops; and indicated resilience promotion to 30 student leaders through mentoring. Results: Student leaders formed a youth-led, afterschool club to advance relational resilience through prosocial strategies. Lessons learned from implementing the YLRP program for 6 years (2012-2017) are provided to guide YLRP program developers and program implementers. Conclusion: A youth-led program equipping youth leaders to engage in prosocial strategies may contribute to the psychological resilience and recovery of students after a school shooting, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and other potentially traumatic events. Clinical Impact StatementDisaster recovery after a school shooting or global pandemic must address the psychological trauma and bereavement of students in schools. However, underresourced schools and underratioed, school-based mental health professionals limit mental health care. Cognizant of these constraints, we propose a Youth-Led Resilience Promotion (YLRP) framework and program. The lessons learned from implementing the YLRP program after a school shooting may complement adult-led recovery and extend to psychological recovery after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic or other potentially traumatic events.
