🚨 Did you know we have a four-part Podcast series with the @thementalelf.bsky.social discussing what is required to tackle the growing mental health crisis among children and young people? Guest speakers include Prof Pasco Fearon, Prof Essi Viding, and Prof Peter Fonagy. #AdolescentMentalHealth 🎙️

On the 1st Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 1 Amazing Project 🌈🎁

ReSET is more than a study - it’s a collaborative effort of researchers, schools, teachers, students, caregivers, and clinicians.

Here’s to the journey and promising results so far - and what’s still to come!!

#12DaysofReSET

On the 2nd Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 2 Professors had an idea 💡🎓

It all started with a conversation between Professors Essi Viding and Pasco Fearon. They saw the growing need for adolescent mental health support, and imagined a school-based, preventative, transdiagnostic intervention.

On the 3rd Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 3 Assessment Timepoints 🧠📈

We tracked our participants over 2-3 years, checking in on their wellbeing, peer relationships, and social-emotional development.

On the 4th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 4 Years Running 🕰️📆

From 2021 to 2025, ReSET’s been on the move - designing, delivering, evaluating and reflecting. Now we’re in the final stretch: analysing results, writing up findings, and sharing what we’ve learned!

On the 5th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 560 Participants 👨👩👧👦🎉

We aimed for 540... and smashed it. Across 28 groups, over 560 young people took part in ReSET — split almost evenly between intervention and control.

On the 6th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about... 6 Publications (so far!) 📚🖋️

Even with all the busyness of the last 4 years, we still managed to publish! 💪 From evaluations of the feasibility study to development insights, ReSET’s made its mark in academic journals - and we’re not done yet!

On the 7th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 7 South-East Councils 🗺️📍

ReSET's gone nation-wide! While the majority of our groups ran within Central London and surrounding boroughs, we also travelled as far as Kent - visits to each school ranging from 11 to well over 100 times!🏃

On the 8th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 8 Week Intervention 📆

Those allocated to the intervention arm were invited to attend the 8 week intervention. Consisting of a session a week, focusing on developing skills for emotional processing & relational skills.

On the 9th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 9 Co-Investigators🔍

ReSET involves many moving parts, psychological concepts and methodological considerations. The breadth of the project meant we had to call upon some of the smartest minds to help design and implement ReSET.🧠

On the 10th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 10 Pupils per Group📖

ReSET participants were the top 15% on the Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaire, which measures psychopathology. They were randomly put into a group of 10, resulting in varied gender, ethnicity, and neurodiversity.

On the 11th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 11 Secondary Schools🏫

This one is a bit of a stretch, as we technically worked with 12 schools (2 are sites belonging to the same school group) - but we made it work for the song!📖

❄️It's beginning to look a lot like ReSET .... ❄️

Make sure to stay tuned over the next 12 days as we reveal a little more information about the finer details of ReSET.🎁🎄
