Almost exactly 30 years after watching REM at what was then the McAlpine stadium, very excited to be back to watch Blossoms and Stereophonics. I haven’t aged a day 🤪

@neilhumphrey.bsky.social speaks about the richness of @beewelluk.bsky.social data in Greater Manchester, and how it can inform interventions based on the causes of low wellbeing.

“We’re seeing in our Greater Manchester data, young people’s sense of hope and optimism for the future is just now, over the past two years recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

“But there’s still many young people experiencing different challenges in their lives.”

After collaborating with @jess-deighton.bsky.social @neilhumphrey.bsky.social @pravpatalay.bsky.social and many others since early 2017, the results of the "Education for Wellbeing" programme are out.

Top-level summary here
www.annafreud.org/research/cur...

#RCT #CACE #AnnaFreud #HealthEconomics

Education for Wellbeing
Education for Wellbeing, led in partnership by mental health charity Anna Freud and UCL, tested five interventions and involved more than 30,000 primary and secondary school students.

Education for Wellbeing was a large-scale research programme, funded by the Department for Education, involving two randomised control trials. Through Education for Wellbeing, we evaluated a range of mental health and wellbeing interventions being delivered in primary and secondary schools. Our aim was to examine the impact of these approaches on children and young people’s mental health. The programme ran between 2018 and 2024. Across England, 32,655 pupils across 513 schools participated in Education for Wellbeing.

The Anna Freud Schools Division delivered the interventions within the programme and the Evidence-Based Practice Unit evaluated the approaches, examining their impact on pupils’ mental health and wellbeing.
