An educational approach that is based on life skills provides a strong theoretical base for the design and implementation of intervention programs to improve adolescents’ ability to face life challenges. In fact, when emotional education, including thinking, emotions, and behavior, is integrated into these programs, an improvement in the participants’ social and affective competencies, as well as their academic performance, is observed. Specifically, promoting adolescents’ sense of coherence, and thus also self-efficacy and coping mechanisms can improve their capacity to face adversities and achieve a higher level of subjective wellness.
