Unloading Stress in School

This NY Times article entitled "A Place At School Where Students Can Unload Stress and Worry" explores ways to help children and adolescents handle the current stressors of life (substance abuse, bullying, emotional disorders, school pressure, parental conflict, terrorism, etc) within the school system. The wellness system discussed in the article has been effective at helping children learn to cope. What are some of the challenges of helping children and adolescents cope in such a stressful society? How do you build a resilient child?
