School engagement and resilience in bullied indigenous adolescents: a strengths-based analysis of a longitudinal study

This study found that affective school engagement predicts resilience in Australian Indigenous adolescents. Affective school engagement may also serve as a protective factor for adolescents who have been bullied, potentially mitigating some of the harmful mental health outcomes linked with bullying. These findings underscore the potential for programmes that may promote affective school engagement in future initiatives to improve education inequities that cause health disparities for Indigenous peoples.
