@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.

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.
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.

Whole survey was co designed with young people so we know it covers topics that are important to them, which helps with engagement. Lots of hard work signing schools up and encouraging them to complete. And we provide feedback through interactive dashboards so the schools can act on the data 👍
