What does 'This is My Place' mean? 🏫 For Day 3 of #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, we take the theme of 'This is My Place' and outline why schools are already a safe space for young people and how ReSET aligns with schools to support young people's mental health. Check it out below!

🤔 Did you know that young people spend on average 30% of their waking hours at school? 🏫 Check out our new video for Day 2 of #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, where our colleague Josh Wood went back to his secondary school to interview one of the teachers... youtu.be/itO_Y3eB4sw

It's the start of #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek 🩵 This years theme is 'This is My Place', highlighting the importance of fostering a safe, nurturing environment that allows children and young people to feel a sense of belonging 🤝 More info ➡️ www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk #CMHW

Today is @mind.org.uk #TimeToTalkDay Being honest and talking about difficult things is tough! But it's also the first step towards getting the support you need. Talking also reduces the stigma around seeking support! If you or someone you care about needs support, visit mind.org.uk/TimeToTalkDay

When young people get the right support, parents feel the difference too! 🫶 For Stem4's Parent Mental Health Day 2026, we’re sharing some of the changes caregivers told us they’ve seen since their child attended the ReSET programme. 📣 #ParentMentalHealthDay #PMHD #PMHD2026

Happy New Year from the ReSET Team!✨⭐ We hope that you see the year out in style - whether that's celebrating with family, partying with friends or relaxing at home watching some good TV!🥂

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

Happy Holidays from the ReSET Team!🎄❄️ We hope you have a festive period filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of celebrations. ReSET has enjoyed the festivities - decorating our office, filming holiday related content, festive lunches, and office christmas party. 🥂

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.

🔥Team Spotlight🔥 Another ReSET Co-PI who needs no introduction Prof. Pasco Fearon is Director of the Centre for Child, Adolescent and Family Research and a world-leading developmental and clinical psychologist researching child development and mental health.🧠

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!📖

On the 12th Day of Christmas ReSET told me about ... 12 Team Members❄️ If you have been keeping up with our posts over the last few months you would know the team fairly well by now (shameless plug)!🔌💡

❄️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.🎁🎄 #12DaysofReSET

Today wraps up Anti-Bullying Week - but that does not mean we should stop discussing bullying and making sure we are doing what we can to support our peers! The team had a lot of fun wearing our #OddSocks - do you own a fun pair??👀🧦

Today is World Kindness Day 💛 Showing kindness towards others is a fundamental part of the ReSET groups – whether it's listening, showing empathy, or helping someone feel seen by your actions. Let’s take a moment to notice others and choose kindness today 🌸 #worldkindnessday #ReSETMentalHealth

This is anti-bullying week, pioneered by the Anti-Bullying Alliance and a particularly relevant cause for ReSET as we work with adolescents. At our conference last week, Prof. René Veenstra and Prof. Lucy Bowes presented some interesting research surrounding adolescent bullying behaviours.

Co-production – an increasingly common indicator of good and relevantly informed research. However, it should be more than a buzzword thrown around to ensure the right box is ticked🚨✔ – a belief both ReThink and ReSET strongly hold.

Wondering what the conference looked like? Well, here it is! ✨ Hosted at Anna Freud for the day, the event delved into the ReSET Project and our results, as well as touching upon school-related topics such as developmental language disorder, social networks and bullying.

Reflecting on the ReSET conference last week... Thank you to everyone who made the day brilliant, the speakers presented interesting research – including our own results showing evidence for reductions in mental health symptoms for those who received the intervention!

👋 Good morning everyone, and a very warm Mental Elf welcome to the @resetproject.bsky.social conference in London. You can follow along all day at 🌟 #ReSETMentalHealth 🌟 We are going to be talking about Relationships, Emotions & Adolescent Wellbeing. I'm André - hello! 🧵 THREAD
