This chapter reports the implementation of a professional learning programme focused on resilience and well-being, targeting 35 inservice Portuguese teachers, mostlyworking in middle and secondary education.

This chapter also describes the main effects of the training programme on participants, gathered through interviews at the end of the training sessions.
