In the quantitative phase, a sample of 317 participants was drawn from some public schools in the selected regions. The qualitative data was collected from the field with the aid of an Interview guide.

The results reveal that the impact of resilience in the psychosocial support of internally displaced secondary students in Cameroon was significant for all the predictive components thus indicating their significance in providing psychosocial assistance among internally displaced secondary school students
