Summary/Abstract: In our century we face emerging challenges of uncertainty and because of that our resilience skills, which are beginning to be more and more present in the academic discourses, occupy an important place in everyday life. The strategies of increasing resilience prove to be useful in difficult times. The understanding of our own experiences or those of other people and groups can help us better manage the impact of COVID-19 in a constructive and collaborative way. The positive approach to mental health and the development of resilience are linked to the global perspective of individual and collective health. Resilient people have good/ positive mental health. In this regard, with this study we aimed to specify the main ways of increasing resilience in students, ways that contribute to the positive adjustment in conditions of adversity. The research took place during the first semester of the academic year 2020-2021 and gave us clues about the impact that the pandemic had on students. In relation to their answers, we rethought the approach of the curricular contents so as to offer understanding and support in order to increase the resilience of the students.
