• Many adolescents face emotional and behavioral problems that can negatively impact their future outcomes. Fortunately, resilience is a characteristic that can help to mitigate the negative consequences of emotional and behavioral problems. This study aims to examine the effects of an intensive, short-term training that combines aspects of both mindfulness training and Life Skills Training on the resilience and emotional and behavioral problems of adolescents in China. Our results show that changes in mindfulness are significantly associated with changes in adolescents' resilience and emotional and behavioral problems, while changes in life skills are not. Implications and directions for future research are discussed. •Literature shows that both resilience and emotional and behavior problems are important indicators of adolescent well-being.•This proposed program is associated with adolescents’ increasing resilience and reducing emotional and behavioral problems.•The finding implies a short-term and intensive intervention can have positive outcomes for adolescents.
