Universal mental health interventions in schools: Manchester

About this event

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.
