The study focused on the subject of resilience and a 6-week RM designed by the researcher was applied. Explanatory sequential mixed method design, in which quantitative and qualitative research methods are used together, was used in the research. The study group consists of 30 teachers working in Gaziantep in the academic year 2020-2021. The qualitative sample of the research consists of 6 teachers who participated in the experimental sample among 30 teachers and were determined by voluntariness. The teachers were equally divided into two groups as experimental and control samples. The Resilience Scale for Adults adapted by Basım and Çetin (2011) to collect the quantitative data of the study, and a semi-structured interview form created by the researcher to collect the qualitative data was used.

Content and descriptive analysis methods were used in the analysis of qualitative data. According to the quantitative data obtained as a result of the study, there is no significant difference between the total scale scores of the teachers. In addition, when the pre-test and post-test results are compared, there is no significant difference in the sub-dimensions of "Structural Style, Perception of the Future, Perception of Self, Social Resources and Social Competence"; in the "Family Cohesion" sub-dimension, a significant increase is observed in the post-test scores of the experimental sample compared to the pre-test scores.
